Yea! Got my Faberware Air Fryer today. First in the cooker-- Paleo friendly Fried Chicken 🍗
Ingredients:
Frozen chicken breast tenderloins (Thaw so you can pat dry any water from them)
Wet ingredients: one egg and 1 tablespoon full fat coconut milk (can use oil of choice)
Dry ingredients: mixture of nut flour and coconut flour (I used hazelnut flour), salt, pepper. A tip I have picked up is to add a touch of cane sugar to dry mix. Why? For browning as the sugar caramelizes and browns. Again this is optional and not considered Paleo but it's just a pinch so I don't feel it interferes.
Cook at 400 degree setting for ten minutes, open and flip over with tongs, cook another five minutes. My impression was mixed when I ate them. The flavor was excellent but the meat ended up pretty dried out. So, I think next time I will cook them at a lower heat and shorten the time. Not bad for the first cooking event.
Next I made a southern style biscuit which turned out perfect and delicious! Turn on Air Cooker to 355F and let it preheat while you prepare the dough.
The ingredients:
The Wet: one whole egg, one tablespoon coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup, squeeze of lemon juice
The Dry: 1/2 cup almond flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/8 teaspoon baking soda, salt to taste
Mix wet ingredients then fold into dry ingredients, spoon into ramekin and bake at 355F for 10-12 mins.
Edit: Sad to say my inexpensive air fryer's timer broke after using the machine three times! Cheap Chinese crap! Too bad, I was really starting to get into it. Since I had already disposed of the original packaging, Walmart's return policy won't honor the replacement guarantee, so I'm out the $40 I spent on it and a broken machine.
Lesson here: Always read the return policy before disposing of the packaging as they want you to repackage it in original package. Why? I dont know, the damn thing is broken so cant be resold.
