AIR-FRYER ALMOND CHICKEN



Air-Fryer Almond Chicken image

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.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and ensure that your dish turns out perfectly.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Choose fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality chicken for the best results.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it remains tender and juicy.
  • Use a Wok: A wok is the ideal cooking vessel for this dish. Its large surface area and high sides allow you to stir-fry the ingredients quickly and evenly.
  • Stir-Fry in Batches: If you're cooking a large amount of chicken or vegetables, stir-fry them in batches to prevent overcrowding the wok. This will help ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Add Sauce at the End: Add the sauce to the wok towards the end of the cooking process to prevent it from burning.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or green onions, before serving to add a pop of color and flavor.

This almond chicken with asparagus recipe is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
