Korean BBQ chicken, cooked to perfection in an air fryer, offers a delightful fusion of flavours that will tantalise your taste buds. To begin, you'll need bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, which stay juicy and tender during cooking. The marinade is the heart of this dish; combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and a splash of rice vinegar for that unmistakable Korean flair. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least an hour, or ideally overnight, to fully absorb the rich flavours.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F) to ensure a lovely, crisp finish. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there’s enough space for air to circulate. Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin turns golden brown and the internal temperature reaches a safe 75°C (165°F).
Serve the Korean BBQ chicken with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced spring onions for an elegant touch. Pair it with steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables to complete the meal, and enjoy a taste of Korea from the comfort of your home!
Cooking a whole beef eye fillet on the BBQ is a fantastic way to impress your guests with a tender and flavourful cut of meat. Here’s how to do it:
Preparation: Start by taking the beef eye fillet out of the fridge and allowing it to come to room temperature, around 30-60 minutes beforehand. This ensures even cooking. Meanwhile, prepare your BBQ for indirect cooking by heating one side to a medium-high temperature.
Seasoning: Pat the fillet dry with kitchen paper and generously season it with salt and freshly ground black pepper. You can also rub it with a bit of olive oil and garlic or your choice of herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, to enhance the flavour.
Searing: Once the BBQ is ready, sear the fillet on the hot side for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it develops a lovely brown crust. Use tongs to turn the meat, avoiding piercing it to keep the juices intact.
Indirect Cooking: After searing, move the fillet to the cooler side of the BBQ. Close the lid and cook for around 30-40 minutes, depending on the desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 55°C (130°F); for medium, around 60°C (140°F).
Resting: Once cooked to your liking, remove the fillet from the BBQ and let it rest on a chopping board, covered loosely with foil, for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat succulent.
Serving: Slice the fillet against the grain into thick medallions and serve with your favourite sides, perhaps a crisp salad or roasted vegetables. Enjoy the rich, beefy flavour of your perfectly cooked eye fillet!

With their wonderfully crunchy exterior and tender, flavourful interior, these cauliflower bites are slathered in a rich, smoky barbecue sauce that will tantalise your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

- Salt and pepper, to taste

Prepare the Cauliflower: Start by preheating your air fryer to 200°C (392°F). In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add enough water to create a smooth batter that clings to the cauliflower.
-
Coat the Cauliflower: Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

Air Fry the Cauliflower: Place the battered cauliflower in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Spray lightly with olive oil and cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until they are golden and crispy.
-
Add BBQ Sauce: Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower wings to a large bowl and pour over the BBQ sauce. Toss gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
- Final Crisp: Return the sauced cauliflower to the air fryer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelise slightly and the wings to become even more irresistible.
