THE beauty of hen is that it’s so versatile and scrumptious when mixed with daring flavours. Let’s begin this week by first my crispy tandoori spiced hen wings. It is a fusion recipe from one of many cookery programs at Dunbrody Home, the place my cooks educate each week. I take advantage of tandoori paste to boost the flavour of the wings however you can use balti or Chinese language curry paste in its place. For the coating we have now a easy secret — baking powder. When cooking within the oven, the baking powder will assist make the wings crispier and crunchier, which solely makes them even tastier. Subsequent we have now the hen katsu curry.For this I all the time recommend utilizing butterflied hen which cuts down on the cooking time. The mix of rice, hen and coconut curry sauce is divine. You probably have an air fryer then this recipe is right for you because the air fryer will will let you create crispy hen items very quickly.The one drawback to an air fryer is area, so you will have to prepare dinner them in batches and hold the cooked ones within the oven at 70C. Don’t overlook so as to add some contemporary cucumber when serving for much more flavour. Completely satisfied cooking, Kevin
