Air Fryer Asian Chicken Drumsticks

2 Comments

These Air Fryer Asian Chicken Drumsticks are sweet and sticky and are cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

CAN YOU PUT FOIL IN THE AIR FRYER

Iv’e been asked this question many times and the answer is yes.

I use it often when cooking sticky foods as the clean up after is that much easier. 

WHAT IS AIR FRYING

Air frying is a healthy alternative to deep frying food. And most air fryers have been marketed in a way to make you think that this cooking technique is best for those who make a lot of those at home.  

Well I am here to tell you that you do not need to just be a deep fried food lover to want to use this cooking method. RATHER if you love to bake food, then this is also a great alternative. And in most cases is much healthier than traditional baking methods. 

Because air frying mimics deep fried foods but uses little to no oil. And if your cooking something fatty, the fat will drip away and off the food.

So you can enjoy all the same deep – fried or baked foods that we have all come to know and love again but in a healthy way.

The air hot air is what cooks the food not the oil. If you have some frozen foods on hand, feel free to throw out any deep fryer you may have because the air fryer can now do the same job. 

But it is not only frozen food that can be cooked this way, pretty much any food you can think of can. 

If you like sweet and savory asian inspired chicken flavors, then you’re sure to want to add this recipe to your cookbook collection. 

I’m super excited to share my first Air Fryer recipe with you all today. I have been on the fence for the past year about buying an air fryer.

Mainly because I do not eat a lot of deep fried foods and also because I could not fathom spending $200 plus for ONE.  Air fryers promise that you can get that deep fried texture without all the grease.   

So recently when I came across the Gotham air fryer, that does the exact same thing as an air fryer.

And knew that I had to try it! So I’m now starting a Air Fryer collection of recipes on this blog because I have fallen in love with this NEW kitchen tool. 

CAN I USE ANY KIND OF AIR FRYER? 

YES! 

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN IN THE AIR FRYER?

  • If your using a Kitchen Top Air Fryer, follow your Air fryers cooking instructions for chicken drumsticks.
  • Then coat the Chicken in Olive Oil vs Cooking Oil = 3 tbsp per 6 legs is enough.
  • Marinated the chicken for 30 minutes before air frying.
  • Place the Chicken in or on the Air Fryer and allow it to do the Cooking.

NOTE: Each air fryer has different cooking instructions based on size and model. It is best to check with your units information in regards to cooking times and temps for chicken drumsticks

HOW TO COOK CHICKEN ON THE GOTHAM STEEL AIR FRYER? 

  • If your using the Gotham Steel Crisper I would advise to turn your oven to Conventional bake, which will make the chicken extra crispy. Otherwise if your oven does not have that setting you can simply place the crisper on the middle rack, which works well too.
  • Follow the same instructions above. 

If you have a table top Air Fryer all these recipes will work the same. Because Air Fryers all use the same type of cooking techniques. 

IS AIR FRYER CHICKEN HEALTHY? 

Yes, in comparison to other methods of cooking chicken it is. If you have never used an air fryer, now is the time. They are more affordable now than ever. Plus they are also a much healthier way to cook food, since the fat drains away and it is never deep fried.

Some people think that an Air Fryer is mostly for people who eat a lot of fried food. I admit I once was apart of that group, however I soon realised that if you like to bake foods too. Like I do, then the air fryer really cuts out a lot of the unnecessary fat.

Think of it, how do you typically bake chicken drumsticks or legs? If you are anything like me. You would place it on a pan in the oven and sometimes use a baking sheet to catch the grease. However with the air fryer it elevates the food and allows all that (FAT) to drip away. 

Plus if you use the Gotham Air Fryer it is super simple to clean, I am talking hard sticky food at the bottom of the tray slides right off. No scrubbing at all is needed, it could not be more simpular guys.

Another reason I like the Gotham Air Fryer is because it cooks more food than the typical table top Air Fryers. Because it has a lot of space on that tray !

IS AIR FRYER CHICKEN KETO?

Yes!

Beef and Vegetable Ramen

Leave a comment

These Beef and Vegetable Ramen Noodles are made in a delicious sauce that you’re sure to enjoy. 

You can make this dish more or less spicy according to your personal taste. 

The heat in this dish comes from the cayenne pepper, I like to use just 1/2 a tsp for this recipe.

Which gives it a touch of heat, kinda similar to the spicy ramen noodle packages you may find at the store.

Then you will want to start by chopping all your vegetables up first, this is the hardest part really.

As it can be a bit challenging if you do not have knife skills to julienne the carrots and peppers. 

However practise makes perfect and in time you will figure out the best method for you. If you really prefer a little help in that area you can always use a food processor to do those jobs for you if needed.

I like to use broccoli, carrots, red peppers and snap peas for this dish.

Although you can use whatever veggies you have on hand really.

Not a fan of beef feel free to add some shrimp, tofu or chicken to these noodles in replace if desired. 

Once the veggies are saute yet still slightly crisp.

You will then add back in the cooked ramen along with that delicious premade sauce.

Toss everything together to serve. 

DELICIOUS! Feel free to try other vegetables such as broccoli, kale or even asparagus. 

This dish also works well with chicken and tofu!

This recipe proves that you don’t have to put a lot of effort into making this type of takeout dish.

I just know your going to love it as much as we do!

Serve some “Spicy chili sauce” on the side for some extra heat or add more cayenne during the cooking process.

Also you can add beef bouillon cubes in replace of the beef stock, just make sure your using equal amounts of water/liquid

Pasta, Salads

Dill Pickle & Black Forest Pasta Salad

Leave a comment

This Dill Pickle and Black Forest Pasta Salad is a fantastic and easy recipe for any of those upcoming summer gatherings! 

I hope you give this light and tasty Summer pasta salad a try!

This is best served slightly chilled the day of vs the next day, because if it’s left in the fridge for to long it can become dry.

So if there is just the two of you please use the recipe adjuster here and make just enough for what you need.

Other than that this recipe is a winner as it’s not laddled with any high fat dressing.

Rather we are using a creamy plain yogurt and then adding some pickle juice, a touch of mayo, olive oil and spices that make it all come together very well.

What kind of Dill Pickle ? Pasta Salads have you tried in the past? Why not give this lighter version a try  this time.

This one is creamy enough to satisfy pretty much anyone, however is made lighter than the average pickle pasta salad you may find out there.

Since it’s mostly made with plain yogurt, dill pickle juice and just 1 tbsp of mayonnaise.

I much prefer using more yogurt over mayonnaise as it lightens up the dish and keeps me in better shape. 

Pickle Salad Perfection!

Notes: The colder the salad the better it taste, so try to chill it in the fridge for one at least one hour prior to serving.

Indian Chicken Curry

6 Comments

This Indian Chicken Curry also known as (Murgh Kari) is super quick and easy to prepare and has a great authentic taste. You can make it in your pressure cooker or on your stovetop in under 30 minutes making it a great weeknight meal or a great dish for meal prep throughout the week!

Looking for another great curry recipe? Try my Chickpea Spinach Curry or my Lamb and Chickpea Curry recipes.

Whether you’re feeding a large crowd, or cooking for yourself, this Indian Chicken Curry is a flavorful dish and is sure to earn rave reviews.

Serve it over white rice, brown rice or even riced cauliflower for a flavorful low carb curry. 

What You’ll Need

To make this curry the easy way, your going to want to purchase a pre-made spice mix. Such as MDH Chicken Masala as seen below. You can purchase it through my AMAZON link if you’d like too.

 

Marinating the Chicken

Is a tip to help the recipe taste more authentic as it enables all the flavors to merge into it. This can be done the night prior, by simply dicing the chicken and placing it into a plastic bag along with a bit of oil and the spice mixture.

I tend to choose a more spicy curry goat or lamb dish, however, when it comes to Curry Chicken, this recipe is definitely high up on my favorite list. I learned this dish from  “Chef Vikram Vij” when he was on the food network some time ago and I’ve been making it ever since!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • You can make this dish more spicy, by simply adding more cayenne pepper if desired. 
  • I like to make this recipe at home often because it’s super simple and healthy and doesn’t contain any MSG or preservatives.
  • You can make it in large batches which makes it a great budget friendly dinner option.
  • Add in your favorite vegetables to boost the nutrition. 
  • You can easily make it on the stovetop or in a pressure cooker. 
  • It can easily be made vegetarian by adding in tofu or chickpeas instead of chicken.

Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Cooking Oil or Ghee – This is what you’ll use to saute the chicken, onion, garlic and ginger. It will help brown them and bring out the flavors. 
  • Boneless Chicken Breasts – Chicken is the main protein source of this dish, but feel free to use any protein you enjoy. 
  • Onion & Garlic – These two aromatic vegetables add a great layer of flavor to chicken curry. 
  • Raw & Canned Tomato – You’ll need a mix of raw tomatoes, canned tomatoes and tomato paste for this recipe. Tomatoes add a great color and acidity to curry dishes. 
  • Ginger – Ginger helps give a spicy flavor that pairs well with any curry recipe. 
  • Full Fat Yogurt & Cream – These two ingredients help give the curry a nice creamy tomato sauce. 

Homemade Indian Curry Spice Blend

You can use a premade spice blend or a curry spice blend made from scratch! 

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Garam masala
  • 2 tbsp Curry powder
  • 1 tbsp Turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Coriander
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt

Easy Tilapia Fish Tacos

Leave a comment

These Easy Tilapia Fish Tacos are one of my all time favorite Mexican recipes.

Not only are they absolutely delicious! They take less than 15 minutes to make. I like to serve these tacos with all types of salsa, such as the one you see here for my Pico de gallo . Also you can serve it with my award winning Jalapeno Peach Salsa as seen below.

ARRIBA MEXICO!

It’s that good guys, amo los tacos mexicanos! We make this in our house at least once a week.

Just make sure you have some either high quality fresh fillets or frozen always on hand and you can too.

ARE FISH TACOS HEALTHY

Yes, white fish is a lean protein then the taco shell itself is low in calories as well as the added ingredients and spices.

HOW TO MAKE TILAPIA FISH TACOS

  • You can use a high quality frozen fish for this recipe. Otherwise fresh fillets are always my top choice.
  • This type of fish can also be served in burritos, hard tacos or over rice with beans.

TYPE OF FISH TACOS

  • You can also substitute the tilapia for another white fish such as halibut or cod.
  • Shrimp too is also a popular option. 

WHERE DID FISH TACOS ORIGINATE

In Baja, California. Some say that the roots come from Japanese immigrants that made there way to Mexico in the 1950s – 1960 who brought them in.  Either way they this is a very MEXICAN recipe to most of us today!

TILAPIA FISH TACO SEASONING

  • Chili Powder
  • Cayenne pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Cumin Powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

These tasty tacos can be pulled together in less than 15 minutes.

Making for a super quick and tasty dinner option.

Just make sure to make the “pico de gallo” ahead of time.

But not to ahead of time as the tomatoes won’t be as fresh past a day!

WHAT TO SERVE WITH TILAPIA

  • Sour cream
  • Cheese
  • Avocado

WHAT IS PICO DE GALLO

These fish tacos are so darn delicious, pair them with fresh homemade “pico de gallo” and you can’t get a tastier or healthier fish tacos if you ask me.

It’s Mexican salsa y’all and it goes great with just about any type of Mexican food.

See below for the recipe!

Also don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice over top the fish at the end.

This really helps the flavors to pop!

FISH TACOS FOR A CROWD

You can feed roughly 4 people with this recipe.

So if it’s just the two of you dining tonight then there certainly will be some leftovers.

If your wanting to feed more people, simply MAKE more by doubling the ingredients! 

Super easy to prepare too, all you are doing is a little prep work that takes less than 15 minutes.

If your wanting to serve this with the same  “pico de gallo” salsa you see in the picture here.

Be sure to make the salsa one hour ahead of time, as it’s best to let the salsa marinate which enhances it’s flavors. 

Check out my two favorite recipes for Pico De Gallo you will serious love them! 

  1. Pico De Gallo this goes great with these tacos.
  2. Cabbage Pico De Gallo this also goes great with these tacos.

HOW TO MAKE BOK CHOY CHICKEN GARLIC SOUP

I will prepare this on the stove top in a large batch and eat it all day long.

  • You can make this soup with chicken breasts, or you can also pick up a Rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken off the bird and boil the carcass to get the benefits from a bone broth soup.
  • For this soup, I just used the breasts however both methods are good to fight off a cold. 
  • Keep in mind if you are using a whole bird, you won’t need any extra chicken stock since you will be making a bone broth from the bird. 

If you are using chicken breasts then you will definitely want to use chicken stock. I believe this soup can prevent colds and the flu and heal the body, because every time I prepare this soup I feel so much better the next day. See recipe below for all the ingredients and full instructions!! 

Now, I do not know about you but whenever I travel I tend to catch a cold!

Sucks I know, so beforehand I do my best to boost my immune system with supplements and eating healthy.

But sometimes no matter what you do, that pesky cold still comes on.

So a soup like this is sure to help the body to heal and feel better!

Ever since I started to incorporate this soup in my diet right around the time I travel, I manage to minimize or avoid the symptoms of the cold and for me that is great because I would rather be sick 24 hours versus 2 weeks.

Packed with immune boosting ingredients and nutrients, this soup is something you will definitely enjoy even when you’re not under the weather.

Feel free to add some egg noodles to it if you like. I hope you give it a try, and If you are not feeling well I hope this soup makes you feel a whole lot better.

HOW TO MAKE BOK CHOY SOUP

  • Start by slicing your mushrooms and chopping the baby bok choy into bite size pieces.
  • Next chop your onion, crush your garlic and peel and finely chop your your ginger root into tiny pieces. You can use powders if you prefer.
  • If you are using chicken breasts: dice them into bite size pieces and set aside.
  • If you are using a Rotisserie chicken: remove all the meat from your bird and then place the chicken carcass into a large stock pot and add cover with 8 cups of water. Simmer the carcass on low heat for 45 minutes turning a few times to allow the stock to develop.
  • Once the stock has developed, discard the carcass and place the remaining stock aside in a bowl.
  • Next, in your stock pot heat the olive oil and sauteed your onion, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes till fragrant.
  • Now, add in your shredded chicken, chicken stock along with all your bok choy
  • Add in all the spices and simmer on medium – low for 20 minutes.
  • Serve and allow your body to heal itself. Enjoy!

CAN YOU FREEZE BOK CHOY SOUP

Yes, it freezes well. Up to 3 months max though, you do not want a freezer burnt soup.

I have plenty of soup of other soups on this site that would help anyone to feel better. One of which is my Vegetable Egg drop soup. It is absolutely delicious and healthy for you as well.

And my Duck Pho Soup

Rotisserie Chicken Soup

Healthy Chicken Noodle Soup

Note: You can add egg noodles during the last 7 minutes of cooking if desired. And more chicken stock if your wanting more broth to the soup. Add more garlic and onion for more of an antibacterial boost.
