Air Fryer Essentials Crispy Thighs And Fries Recipes

AIR FRYER FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 380 degrees. Slice the potato using a fry cutter or slice into 1/4 inch strips. Rinse in cold water and pat dry with paper towel.
• In a medium sized bowl toss with olive oil, Italian seasoning, parmesan, salt and pepper. Place in air fryer basket and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with ketchup or fry sauce.

CRISPY AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Mix together the granulated garlic, onion powder, thyme, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Pat the chicken dry and add to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil and half of the spice mix, then toss to combine.
• Add the flour to the remaining spice mix and stir to combine. Transfer the flour mixture to a large resealable bag. Add the seasoned thighs to the bag, seal well and toss until the chicken is fully coated in the flour.
• Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 400 degrees F. Add the chicken thighs to the air fryer basket, skin-side down and without touching. Cook, flipping skin-side up halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part (avoiding the bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

AIR FRYER ESSENTIALS: MALT VINEGAR CRISPY FRIES

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Yukon gold are the best for this recipe; second best would be red potatoes. Russets will not work, because they will fall apart when boiled.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Place the water in a pot and bring up to the boil.
• 5. While the water is coming up to the boil, cut up your potatoes. I leave the skins on; however, if you prefer, you can peel before cutting... Up to you.
• 6. Add the salt, and apple cider vinegar to the boiling water, then add the potatoes.
• 7. As soon as the pot comes back to the boil, set a timer for 4 minutes.
• 8. After 4 minutes, remove from the water, drain on paper towels, and allow to cool down for 15 minutes.
• 9. While the taters are cooling, whisk together the oil coating ingredients in a small bowl.
• 10. Throw in the fries and toss to evenly coat.
• 11. Add them to the basket of your air fryer, set the temperature to 400f (205c), and cook until crispy, about 14 - 16 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fries.
• 12. Chef's Note: About every 2 - 3 minutes, shake the basket. This will keep the fries from sticking together and allow them to evenly cook.
• 13. PLATE/PRESENT
• 14. Serve while nice and hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy.
• 15. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
