Air Fryer Lemongrass Chicken
⁣
I got a lot of requests for this chicken recipe from my Nuoc Mam video so here you go!⁣
⁣
This dish is one of my favorites and something I never get bored eating! It’s flavorful, comforting, and crazy easy to make! I also decided to make it air fryer friendly so it’s even faster
⁣
I would love for everyone to take away two fundamental concepts in this recipe:⁣
-The marinade⁣
-Treatment of the Protein⁣
⁣
Learn to master these concepts and you can apply this to every recipe you make for any protein whether boneless/bone-in, skinless/skin-on, thighs, wings, pork chops, ribs, steaks, etc
⁣
The Marinade: Sweet, sour, citrusy, savory, and umami-packed; The perfect balance of all the flavors! By using a blender, the ingredients get broken down smaller so it also helps the ingredients mingle and also easier absorption into whatever you’re marinating⁣
⁣
The Protein: Although I’m using skinless, the chicken is still juicy because the citrus from the lime helps to tenderize the meat and the salt content from the soy/fish sauce acts as a brine which brings moisture⁣
⁣
Marinate the meat for at least 1 hour or overnight
⁣
Cook at 400F for 10 minutes. Extra 5-10 minutes if you like it more charred
