Could you do more air fryer recipes? I’m loving them so much x
Ho yes, we want more recipes in air fryer please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Read all the no like comments about air fryers! Since I started using mine it's changed my life in that I love my air fryer! Yes, it took a wee bit of practice though to get the dishes just right. So after some initial 'footering' (am Scottish!) about, have managed to get temperatures and times sorted. This dish was incredible, Marion! Thank you!
Something I like to do when air frying chicken like this is use a brush to coat the chicken with olive oil rather than a spray. I find that the flour absorbs it and so I don't end up with the residual flour afterwards. I love the lemon sauce recipe - I'll try it soon!
I’ll try the brush trick, but something else that works for me is to spray the oil on while it’s on a plate before it goes into the fryer. I can hit some more angles and I can keep the can more upright.
That's what I do. I make the same wet breading that she does in her main Lemon Chicken video, then I put the pieces on a plate and drizzle a little bit of neutral oil on them, toss them by hand, then I put batches of that in the air fryer. The rest of the chicken stays in the breading pan until I'm ready to move it to the "oiling plate". I read somewhere that cooking sprays can hurt the metal baskets in the air fryers
sitting n listening to marion's voice is really making me feel comfy so much😀
Marion. I am a 68 year old Granny to 9. I have ALWAYS cooked from scratched. I had to feed 4 of us on $20 Cdn a week for about 6 years. I am basically an introvert. I love your show. And my absolute favourite food is Thai. I have been homebound due to brain aneurysms and tumours since 2015. Cooking is the passion that keeps me going. I challenge you to Lemon Chicken Air Fryer!!! Bring it on!!! 😁✌🏻👍🏻
I use an non aerosol oil spray bottle, nice fine spray & it makes cleaning the air fryer much easier. Seems to be something in the aerosol oil sprays that leaves a harder to remove stickiness. Another recipe to try, looks so good!
Aerosol will kill the non-stick properties of ant pan / cooking implemented. I too would use a brush or non-aerosol sprayer.
Agreed I m sure I read in Phillips XL air Fryer instructions something about NOT using an aerosol based oil spray. But that was 2019, 4 houses ago so no idea where the manual is now.
hey marion I'm def trying this out!! looks so yum! I bought a nutricook air fryer and the instructions clearly said oil needs to be sprayed on the basket. I usually spray a little more oil on the chicken before I flip it and that helps with the flour cooking out. thank you for this delish recipe!!!
Thank you!! I was having this exact problem and did know what to do.
I’m going to cook this later today. I think I will toss my air fried chicken pieces right in the saucepan 😃 I love my air fryer, spraying enough oil is key, and I’ve found that potato starch gives a nice crispy texture to air fried pieces. Haven’t used it for lemon chicken yet. Thanks Marion, frying in oil on the stovetop really makes a mess.
I recently made this Airfryer Lemon Chicken recipe.
I haven't had the airfryer that long.
I was very happy with the chicken being juicy & crunchy. The lemon sauce was perfect.
we purchased a smart oven air fryer, can't wait to try it out with this chook nuggets
I LOVE lemon chicken. Even when you’re experimenting, the food turns out lovely!
Thanks for all of your great recipes 😀 in regards to the oil in the air fryer, they say not to use spray oil because it ruins the non-stick coating. For doing crumbed or battered chicken like this, I would liberally apply olive oil (or any oil) to the chicken before putting it in the air fryer, a good 2 tablespoons or so. This will ensure it’s crispy and won’t stick. I didn’t buy the air fryer because I don’t like fat in my food haha. Hope this helps 🙂
I just use a brush with oil on it and making sure all the flowery bits are covered with oil. Yes its a bit more oil than with a spray, but the results are so much better, and way less oil than a deep fryer.
Yep, same - gives a perfect result!
“Fried chicken is a joy forever.” Truer words have never been spoken. 💕
🤣👍
Definitely spray the basket then lightly spray the top of the chicken, turn the chicken over half way then lightly spray the top again...makes a difference (MUST MAKE EXTRA SAUCE)😉👍🏻
Marion getting an air fryer is basically me when my parents got me a new game for Christmas xD
I adore my Breville Smart Oven Air, the air frying racks are absolutely huge and you can use up to four of them at the same time. Really makes life easier on me when I need to 'fry' a good amount of anything like my eggplant for eggplant parmesan, etc. I definitely give everything a good spritz of oil using a refillable non-aerosol bottle for oil, really helps it brown up! But honestly, if the finished 'fried' food is going to be covered in sauce it doesn't matter that spots aren't brown anyway, as you noted. Kudos to a great dish, I think I'll make this tonight!
Hi Marion, you are simply the best! I realise this might be a lot of work for you but would you please create a playlist of your favourite budget friendly recipes? Or perhaps a video about the ingredients that you use the most / recommend for the pantry? Thanks heaps :)
All her meals are budget friendly and easy to follow
Hi Marion. I just love the honesty in your videos. Not to mention the yummy food. Thx.
Yum! More airfryer recipes please 💖
Recently bought an air frying and I am still in my testing stages....lovin this recipe...I will try....Thanks Marion..
Marion, I love this video and made the recipe. I love how you are experimenting with the recipe, very authentic and actually teaches me as a home cook how to adjust midway if something isn't quite working. I made the recipe and loved it.
I tried this yesterday and I gave a little twist replacing lemon juice with passion fruit juice. It was delicious 🤤 Thank you for the recipe!
I love the air fryer great for so many different things
Marion is the best food producer ever👏👏👏
Her recipes is always easy but also really delicious 😋😋😋👍👍👍
Marion I always spray my food on both sides rather than the pan, I’m very impressed with the air fryer. Great for roasting veggies too.
I think that oil mister is just a bit too fine to properly coat the chicken pieces. Try an oil spray bottle on its light setting, completely changed my air fried chicken experience. The brand I use is EVO. Hope this helps Marion! Thank you so much for all your wonderful content 💜💜
i would suggest to try brushing the oil on instead
@@ebsmites7544 that works too, but sometimes is a bit oily for my tastes, I like the sprayer
Little tip for squeezing lemon 🍋 Cut the top off aswel it wil be a lot easier to squeeze out the juices
Love this recipe, air fryer makes it so easy.
Thanks ms. Marion for another recipe, most of my menu came from your recipe😍
Thanks for the fantastic food that you made and let us made 🙏
I just was introduced to that lemon gadget the other day at my job, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ONE, total must have at home now
I like spraying the basket with oil too. I think I’m going to try another spray bottle type next time for better oil coverage.
Just saw this today and tried it imediatly. It wa so so so good and so yummy. I'm half Philipina and the taste brought back so many childhood memories. Eating this made me emotional 😅. Thank you so much for you yummy recepies!!!
I appreciate this one....been debating buying an air fryer....and wondered how home breaded could be the same in an air fryer...and it wasn't.....seems like air fryers are better for heating up and crisping frozen already breaded meat
Good for chops steak schnitzels frozen chips fish fingers frozen onion rings bacon toast toasted sandwiches heating up pizza pies maybe covered in foil etc. I wouldn't do dry flour chicken breast. You need the oil content to stop it being dry af.
Omg this recipe really helps when i'm so out of ideas what to cook using air fryer
Thanks for testing this out for us all, Marion! I’ve been keen to do the same, and curious about just how much sprayed oil is necessary to make this crispy as hell.
Yum!
Love lemon pepper chicken... I would think these are the sort of foods that you can't only eat just one!
☺
Some air fryer models might be able to withstand it, but it's usually warned to never use aerosol/propellant types of oil sprays on the basket because it could cause erosion/chipping. It's advisable to use an oil mister or just brush your food with oil.
Looks very delicious.👍💓
Marion: "I'm still frying chicken properly on the weekend." I agree.
love all air fryer recipe
P.s I'm loving your changeup with your videos!!!
Strangely coincidental that you did this. Last night I made a similar version except I just used my deep fryer, and then for my sauce I used....drum roll please....orange marmalade. I heated it up a bit in my wok and then tossed in the chicken. I have used your lemon sauce (for fish) on chicken and it's divine.
Wow. Orange marmalade! I could get into that! Love it!
I’m going to use my homemade Meyer lemon marmalade 😃
Wow... I'm gonna try this. Thanks for the inspiring recipe 👍
I love using the air fryer this time of year! Keeps the heat low in the kitchen 😂. I made a similar recipe using black drumfish I caught. Thanks for inspiration! Looking forward to trying this lemon sauce with the next catch.
I love any way to not have to turn on the oven or cooktop when it’s 107F outside!
I absolutely adore Marion for the longest time. Watching this video I noticed something but I'm not quite sure that's the case. Has Marion's lovely accent gotten stronger?
Hurray for fried chicken 😋Sorry I’m not here for the chicken, fried or not, it’s still is chicken 😆I just want to watch your free-spiritedness like we your viewers are sitting across the counter and listening, watching you. Homey❤️
Looks pretty mid-week comforting, Marion!!!
Thanks Marion, for yet another great recipe. Would like to see you and your husband cooking together 🥰
Next time you fry on the weekend make some extra, and after your first fry, place on a tray and freeze, then cook in your air fryer during the week.
i will try this new receipe you share for us marion .i love cooking for my family❤️❤️❤️ and i love your receipe ❤️❤️❤️ #1 fan here in the philipines❤️❤️❤️
“Fried chicken is a joy forever”…PREACH!!! 🤣
Looks like you finally switched knife sponsors. Those Japanese knives suit your Asian style of cooking so much better than the German one you used before (even though it looked to have worked pretty nicely).
Hi! I think spraying oil will work great with the non sticking part of it. But I would definitely brush a bit of oil when I try this out. Thanks for a great recipe
Ooooo I need that pink bowl 😍😍😍😍
Just Spray the bottom of the fryer first. As the food cooks, check half way and then spray the flour spots you see. it will get rid of the raw flour. You will get an even fry coating!! Can’t wait to try this though.
Oh wow I've got to try that lemon sauce
It looks it is good taste and tasty recipe, thank you so much for sharing your own version of Chicken recipe.
Yummy delicious recipe thanks for sharing 👍🤗 stay connected stay blessed 💐
It's 23.23 now and I'm hungry after watching Marion's video
Adorable always happy Marion 🥰
I had to watch this twice, because Marion said palaver. It’s such a good word 🤣🤣🤣
Getting an air fryer soon, perfect timing
It is so tempting
If you mix in 1/4 cup of oil per egg to the egg mixture it solves the floury look.
I make your sesame chicken in my fryer all the time 🤭 More air fryer recipes pleaseeee.
Love, love my air fryer. It makes the best damn Chinese Crispy Pork Belly. You should try try it.
*I have found that using a pump oil spray (buy at your local kitchen store and use your own oil) works better than using a can spray.
Great and simple recipe. The problem with using compressed spray oil is that the chemicals used in the cans tend to create a coating over the air fryer over time. Best way to use oil in this case is to get an actual spray bottle and fill it with cooking oil.
Lemon Chicken Nuggets! I’m Looking forward to This “Lemon Chicken Nuggets Recipe!” Thanks!
Lemon Checking looking awesome
Lemon chicken*
Very pretty dish
Marion
Love your videos (I am in Canada and right now, Dec 12 its cold but more to come ugh. Re the spraying of oil. Apparently, they say !!! the propellant eventually destroys the "non stick aspect". I just put avocado oil in a hand pump thingy
Looks delicious
Air fryer is a great second option but nothing beats the greasy and crispy of the old fashion deep frying. I tried the air fryer and I don’t have the patience 🤭.
thank you for giving an alternative for if someone doesn't want to use alcohol, gotta stay completely sober ;]
Hi Marion! You should put your spin on Red Braised Lion Head meatballs. I'm sure it would be super good
Love the bowls you used to mix the ehh flour etc - can you advise where from ?
Love the chicken 🤤🤤
This looks so good 🤤🤤 what could I use to replace the egg in this?
ua-cam.com/video/zca7fIKsACE/v-deo.html
Stick with the egg and think of it as another aggregate state of chicken.
You can also use a pastry brush to lightly coat chicken with oil. The oil spray out of an aerosol can just doesn’t taste right. A misto sprayer also works
airfryer series please!!
Air fryers are actually small convection ovens. Two main problems for me are that you can only do small batches at a time, depending on the model, and my air fryer takes some extra clean up time, which is not offset by the quality if the food. My new oven has a convection option and the clean up is easier, so I usually use that for this kind of prep. However, frying with oil is oh so much better.........but the mess!!!! BTW, GO CHICKEN THIGHS 🐔
Lovely.. i only eat chicken breast meat (not chicken thigh, wings) and this recipe is just perfect. Thanks for making this video 👍
May I ask why?
@@kayleadiane6549 oh, it’s because chicken breast is fully of tender, juicy, thick, tantalising meat and as McDonald says “I’m lovin it” 😂😊
this looks Delicious, i mean, it is healthier than deep frying.
but who doesnt enjoy deep fried Chicken? mmmmm
Try more oil directly on the nuggets and basket
I just tried making chicken nuggets in an air fryer the other day and determined that oil frying is the way to go. They just turned out dry and floury, just like yours did. I'd rather a quick fry in some hot oil, not to say the air fryer doesn't serve a purpose! I've made breakfast potatoes twice, with exceptional results!
I totally agree. Air fryer is brilliant for reheating deep fried chicken and other foods. But for cooking it the air fryer is not it. I like my fried foods greasy🤤😸
You need to make sure there is no visible "white" flour when you put the chicken in the air fryer (usually easiest to brush oil on lightly, or have a good oil spayer), and beware that chicken breast dries out really quickly in the air fryer - anything more than 8-9 minutes and it's not good. Thigh is a bit more forgiving, obviously.
Wow yummy recipe 😍😍💝💝👍🏼👍🏼
Love her voice!
What about a shallow pan fry? Would that work? Still less oil.
Marion, can I use corn flour instead of all purpose flour if I need to be gluten free?
The air fryer is a no for me. I'm just a typical Asian guy who likes to deep fry everything and watching the protein swimming in hot oil is so satisfying
Ahahahaa. I feel you Damien! I LURRRVE to deep fry!
Haha I don't mind air fryer, but I grew up watching chicken pieces swimming in hot oil. Lol
Yeah but oil is so expensive now 😩
@@Chancer02 True! So annoying..
Nice recipe as always. What air fryer is she using out of curiousity?
I’m definitely going to make this! But I’ll bake mine in the oven instead because I don’t have an air fryer. ✨✨✨
Do you use the same temp to cook for a regular oven?
Sawadikah Nice menuuu🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
OMG QUEEEN!
yummy 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Preheat the basket? Usually good to do.
