Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ teaspoon baking soda
6 ounces beer
1 egg (beaten)
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
pinch cayenne pepper
1½ pounds cod (at least 1½-inches thick, cut into 4 or 5 pieces)
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Combine the 1 cup of flour, cornstarch and baking soda in a large bowl. Add the beer and egg and stir until smooth. Cover the bowl of batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  • Combine the ¾ cup of flour, paprika, salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper in a shallow dredging pan.
  • Make sure your pieces of fish are at least 1 to 1½ inches thick so they don't dry out in the air fryer. Pat the cod fish fillets dry with a paper towel. Dip the fish into the batter, coating all sides. Let the excess batter drip off and then coat each fillet with the seasoned flour. Sprinkle any leftover flour on the fish fillets and pat gently to adhere the flour to the batter.
  • Pre-heat the air fryer to 390°F.
  • Generously spritz both sides of the coated fish filets with vegetable oil and place them in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 12 minutes at 390ºF. Spritz with more oil during the cooking process if there are any dry spots on the coating.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges, malt vinegar and tartar sauce. It's perfect with some air-fried French fries and coleslaw too!

Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish and Chips image

Air Fryer Beer Battered Fish and Chips are a tasty twist on the classic dish from across the pond. White fish is fried and served with homemade fries.

Provided by Emily

Categories     Main Dish Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 ounces white fish
1/2 cup beer
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon old bay
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2-3 large russet potatoes, peeled
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Malt Vinegar
Tartar Sauce
Lemon Wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Peel and then cut the potatoes lengthwise into thick slices that are about 1/2 inch thick. Pat them dry.
  • Place the potato slices into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Cook the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer for 7-10 minutes, toss the fries and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes (or until the fries have reached your desired crispness). [Note: You will likely need to do multiple batches in order to cook all the fries. Do not overcrowd your air fryer or they will not get crispy.]
  • Cut the white fish into filets that are about 4 inches each.
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with the cornstarch, baking soda, egg, and beer. You should have a thick batter.
  • In another bowl, combine the remaining flour with the salt, pepper, old bay, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Dip each filet of white fish first into the flour mixture so that they are all coated.
  • Then use tongs to dip each filet into the beer batter, gently shaking off any excess batter, and then into the flour mix again, making sure to evenly coat each side.
  • Finally, recoat the filet in the batter and place it on a piece of greased aluminum foil cut to fit your air fryer basket.
  • Cook the fish in a single layer in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes before flipping and cooking an additional 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fish in two batches so that it can cook and brown evenly. Do not overcrowd your fryer.
  • Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a light beer. Heavy beers will make the batter too thick and dense.
  • Be sure to chill the beer before using it. This will help to create a crispy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the batter tough.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the batter. This will add flavor and depth to the finished dish.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the food until it is golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that it is cooked through.

Beer batter is a delicious and versatile way to cook food in an air fryer. It is easy to make and can be used with a variety of different foods.
