Air Fryer Chicken, Chorizo, Baby Potatoes, and Onions Recipe 😋🍗🥔🧅

Transforming your traditional oven recipe into an air fryer delight is easier than ever! Here’s a step-by-step guide to making this flavorful dish in your air fryer:

Ingredients:

  • 600g baby potatoes, halved and parboiled for 10 minutes, then dried 🥔
  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into chunks �
  • 3 medium onions, chopped 🧅
  • 3 chorizo sausages, chopped 🌭
  • 2 bags microwave basmati rice, heated 🍚
  • Olive oil spray (or a light drizzle) 💧

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    • Parboil the halved baby potatoes for 10 minutes, then drain and dry them thoroughly. 🥔🔥
  2. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). ⏲️🔥
  3. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, toss the chicken chunks, chopped onions, chorizo pieces, and parboiled potatoes. Lightly spray or drizzle with olive oil and mix well. 🥣💧
  4. Cook in the Air Fryer:
    • Divide the mixture between the two drawers of a Ninja Dual Air Fryer (or use a single drawer if you have a smaller air fryer). Spread everything out evenly to avoid overcrowding. 🍗🥔
    • Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, turning the ingredients every 3-4 minutes with a wooden spoon to ensure even cooking. 🔄⏲️
  5. Check and Adjust:
    • After 20 minutes, check for doneness. The chicken should be fully cooked (no pink inside), and the chorizo should be nicely browned. If you prefer the chorizo crispier, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, but keep an eye on the chicken to avoid overcooking. 👀🍗
  6. Transform the Rice:
    • Once the main mixture is cooked, remove the trays and carefully add the heated microwave basmati rice to the tray. Mix the rice with the residual oil from the chorizo to infuse it with flavor. 🍚✨
  7. Serve:
    • Plate the flavorful chicken, chorizo, potato, and onion mixture over the transformed rice. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy! 🍽️😋

Tips:

  • Turn the ingredients regularly to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. 🔄
  • Adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, or paprika) to taste before cooking. 🧂🌶️
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or garlic powder to the mix before air frying. 🧄✨

Enjoy your air fryer masterpiece! 😍🍴
