Air Fried Chinese Chicken, what do you think of this Chinese Chicken and Asparagus Potato Bake??
Ingredients
- 10-12 chicken pieces (legs, wings, and thighs)
Marinade:
Ingredients
- 2 Tblsp garlic/ginger paste
- 2 tsp celery salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 Tblsp 5 spice powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 Tbsp bean paste
- 1 Tblsp fish sauce
- 2 Tblsp light soya sauce
- 1 Tblsp dark soya sauce
- 1 Tbsp Shaoxing rice wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 Tblsp brown sugar
Method
- Whisk all the marinade ingredients in a glass bowl.
- Add the chicken, coat completely, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours.
- Add to a steamer and steam for 20 minutes while you make a spring roll batter.
Batter:
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ยผ cup cornflour
- ยฝ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ยผ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 2 tsp oil
- Water to make a smooth batter.
Method
- I mix all ingredients in a bowl and stand next to the sink with the tap running slowly and adding water and whisk shoving the bowl under the tap as I need more water till Iโm satisfied with the consistency. (Make sure the plug is in the sink!).
- Now if we were going to fry the chicken in shallow oil, I wouldโve added the chicken to the batter and let it sit for 10 minutes before frying in hot oil.
- But I lightly coated in the batter and shook off most excess before Airfrying at 180 ยฐC for about 15-20 minutes.

- Whisk the packet of mushroom sauce and cream till smooth, and add the cheddar.
- Pour over the potato and asparagus (use a fork to spread the cheese).
