AIR-FRYER ALMOND CHICKEN
My husband bought an air fryer oven about six months ago, after seeing it on television. We have used it at least twice a week and love how delicious the food has been. The chicken recipes that we have tried are especially good because of how moist it remains. We started a low-carb diet and did not want to use bread crumbs so we tried the chicken with almonds and it is a favorite now.

Steps:
- First toast the chopped almonds in a wok until lightly golden and fragrant. Set aside and give the wok a wipe with a dry towel as you'll be using it to fry later. In a small saucepan bring the 1 1/2 cups of water for the sauce to the boil. Add the frozen chicken strips and lightly boil with the lid on for 3 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon or a couple of forks and drain on a clean kitchen towel. Do not dump the water! Add the vegan butter and soy sauce to the chicken stock and heat until the butter melts then turn off the heat. In another saucepan mix the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water until smooth then slowly add the chicken soy stock until all is added. Heat and stir until thick and glossy. Check seasoning, turn off heat and set aside. In a small bowl add the cornflour, baking powder, xanthan gum and whisk. Add the water and vegetable oil and whisk really well until it is smooth and really thick. Toss the drained chicken strips into some more cornflour, then coat them in the batter then into the breadcrumbs. It's easiest to have one hand for the batter and the other hand for the breadcrumbs here. Keep going until all the strips are coated and place them on a plate ready to fry. Heat about an inch or two of vegetable oil in the wok you used to toast the almonds until it is very hot. Gently place the breaded chicken into the oil and fry until crisp and golden on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is fried. Reheat the gravy and give it a whisk- if it has thickened too much, you can also add a bit more water. Place some shredded lettuce on a plate, top with the fried chicken then spoon over the gravy generously. Sprinkle over the toasted almonds and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a healthier option.
- To make the chicken extra crispy, coat it in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and almond meal before air frying.
- Be sure to preheat your air fryer before cooking the chicken.
- Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Air fryer almond chicken is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried chicken. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and crispy dish that's perfect for a quick and easy meal. So next time you're looking for a healthier way to enjoy chicken, give air fryer almond chicken a try. You won't be disappointed!
