Air-Fried Prawn Paste Chicken
For best results, marinade the chicken wings over night in the fridge for the chicken to fully absorb the marinade.
Ingredients:
- 300 grams mid-joint chicken wings (or drumlettes)
- 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
Marinade (A)
- 1 tbsp prawn/shrimp paste
- 3/4 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp ginger juice grate some ginger & squeeze the pulp
- 1/2 tsp Shaoxing wine
You also need
- Airfryer
Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients (A) until a paste is formed. Marinade chicken with the sauce for at least an hour or preferably overnight in the fridge.
- Just before deep-frying, add corn flour to the marinade chicken. Stir to coat evenly, shaking off excess flour on the chicken.
- Preheat air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly brush chicken pieces with olive oil.
- Arrange chicken one layer on the fryer basket and slide the basket into the airfryer. Set timer and air fry for 8 minutes. Pull out the tray, use tongs to turn chicken pieces over, and set timer for another 7 minutes. Drain cooked chicken on paper towels before serving.

Hi Wiffy,
Kindly advise how to preheat the air fryer as I am new to air fryers.
Thanks.
