🍗 AIR FRYER WINGS & CRISPY SALAD 🥗

📱 OVERVIEW

  • Total Time: 20 Minutes

  • Servings: 1 to 2 People

🛠️ THE KIT

  • 🌬️ 1 Air Fryer

  • 🥣 1 Large mixing bowl (for coating wings)

  • 🥗 1 Salad bowl

  • 🥄 1 Small jar or bowl (for dressing)

  • 🧤 1 Oven mitt or tongs

🛒 THE INGREDIENTS

The Crispy Wings

  • 🍗 Halal Chicken wings 12 pieces (approx. 500g)

  • 🌾 All-purpose flour 2 tablespoons (for the crunch)

  • 🌶️ Spice Mix 1 tablespoon (Paprika, Garlic powder, or Onion salt)

  • 🧂 Salt & Black pepper 1 large pinch

  • 🫒 Olive oil spray (or 1 tsp oil)

The Zesty Dressing

  • 🍋 Lemon juice 1 tablespoon

  • 🍯 Maple syrup or Honey 1 teaspoon

  • 🥣 Mustard 1 teaspoon

  • 🧂 Salt & Pepper 1 tiny pinch

The Fresh Salad

  • 🥬 Little Gem lettuce 2 heads (chopped)

  • 🧅 Red onion 1/4 (sliced paper-thin)

  • 🎈 Radishes 3 (sliced)

  • 🍅 Tomato 1 large (chopped)

👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

1. The "Shake & Bake" Wings

  1. 🥣 Coat: In your Large mixing bowl, toss the Wings with the Flour, Spice mix, Salt, and Pepper. Make sure every wing looks "dusty."

  2. 🫒 Oil: Spray them lightly with Olive oil (this helps the flour turn into a crispy crust).

  3. 🌬️ Air Fry: Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  4. 🌡️ Settings: Cook at 190°C (380°F) for 15 Minutes.

    Pro-Tip: Give the basket a good shake halfway through (at the 7-minute mark) to ensure even browning!

2. The "While-You-Wait" Salad

  1. 🔪 Prep: While the wings are sizzling, chop your Lettuce, Onion, Radish, and Tomato. Toss them into the Salad bowl.

  2. 🍯 Whisk: In your Small jar, mix the Lemon juice, Syrup, Mustard, and Salt.

  3. 🥗 Dress: Pour the dressing over the greens and toss just before the wings are done.

3. The Finish

  1. 🧤 Use your Oven mitt or Tongs to remove the wings. They should be golden-brown and "shatter-crisp."

  2. 🍽️ Serve them hot next to the cold, crunchy salad.

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🌬️ Steam Release: When you open the air fryer drawer, a big puff of hot steam comes out. Keep your face back so it doesn't fog your glasses or burn your skin!

  • 🍗 Raw Chicken Path: Once the wings are in the air fryer, immediately wash your Large mixing bowl and your hands with hot soapy water before touching the salad vegetables.

  • 🧤 The Basket Base: The bottom of the air fryer basket is extremely hot. Never set it directly on your countertop—use a wooden board or a heat-proof mat.
