Last week I got a new toy in my kitchen ~ A Philips Airfryer. A very welcome surprise birthday present from my family♥♥♥ I can't wait to open up the box and have a good look at this new toy after we had an enjoyable dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I like the sleek black design and fits in well in my kitchen.  

According to the catalogue, one of the main features of this Airfryer is that it can cook some of our all-time favourite fried food such French fries, chicken wings and fish cakes. With up to 80% less fat in the food prepared by Airfryer, it provides a new and healthy alternative to traditional deep frying as you don't have to fill it with oil. Sounds good!

For my first testing on the Airfryer, I marinated the chicken wings and potatoes with the spices that my sweet friend Mary of Keep Learning Keep Smiling sent to me all the way from UK few months ago.  Thank you Mary for the spices. I love it! They are very fragrant and easy to use.

Roasted Chicken Wings and Potatoes

      Ingredients:
      8 pcs Large chicken wings or use mid joint 
      1 packet Perfect shake steak
      1 1/2 tsp Turemeric powder
      1 Onion - chopped to small pieces
      1/2 tsp Sugar
      1/2 tbsp Light soy sauce
      1 tbsp Cooking wine (rice wine or hua tiao qiu)
      1 tbsp Canola oil

• Mix all the ingredients together with the chicken wings and leave to marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

     3-4 Large potatoes, well scrubbed, cut into long lengthwise

     1/2 tsp Turimeric powder

     1 packet SCHWARTZ Spice

     1 tbsp Canola oil

• Preheat the Airfryer to 180C for 5 minutes.
• Wash and scrub the potatoes, peel off the skin and cut them into lengthwise. Soak in mild salt water for 10 minutes. Rinse the cut potatoes under running water, drain them thoroughly and pat dry with kitchen towel.

• Mix all the potatoes ingredients together and transfer it into the fryer basket and slide the basket into the Airfryer.

• Set the timer to 20 minutes and fry the potatoes until they are golden brown. Toss the potatoes after 10 minutes and continue to fry for another 10 minutes.  

• Set the Airfryer to 200C.
• Drain excess marinade from the chicken wings.
• Place chicken wings in the fryer basket and slide the basket into the Airfryer. Set timer to 12 minutes. 

• Roast the chicken wings until brown. Turn sides of the chicken wing. Then lower the temperature to 150C and roast the chicken wings with some cherry tomatoes for another 10 minutes until done. 

Verdict: The chicken wings are very fragrant and tender and the potatoes also very crispy with only 1 tablespoon of oil used. 

The Airfryer is very convenient to use, no mess of oil splatters and less cleaning. Very suitable for small family.
