~~~ AIR-FRIED PRAWN PASTE CHICKEN ~~~

[Recipes] Quick Meals Using Philips Airfryer (2)
[Philips XL Airfryer] Har Cheong Gai (prawn paste chicken)

Talk about chicken wing I am sure most of us cannot resists those with crisp outer crust and tender juicy meat. But if we are to prepare it at home I think most of us will hesitate due to the amount of oil used and risk of being splatter by hot oil while deep-frying.

Here instead of deep-fried our favouite Har Cheong Gai (prawn paste chicken - 虾酱鸡) with oil I use our reliable #philipsairfryer to complete the task in 18 minutes. And from the above you can see those mid-joints are pretty good with crispy outer skin that is similar to deep-frying.

(Yield: 2 | Preparation: 10 minutes | Cooking: 18-20 minutes)

Ingredients:
8 chicken chicken wings
2 tablespoons cornflour, optional

Marinade:
1 tablespoon Lee Kum Kee Shrimp Paste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1/2 tablespoon cooking wine/mirin
1/2 teaspoon sugar, optional

3. Next flip mid-joints over and cook for another 8 minutes. Lastly increase the temperature to 200 degree and air-fried for another minute or until nicely browned.
