Cooking chicken breast in an air fryer is a quick and healthy way to prepare a delicious meal. To start, you'll need boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which you can season to your taste. A simple mix of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika works wonderfully.

First, preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 400°F) for around 5 minutes. While the air fryer is warming up, pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear. Coat them lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly on both sides.

Once preheated, place the chicken breasts in the fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they’re not touching. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the chicken is golden brown.

After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain its juices, then slice and serve. Enjoy your perfectly cooked, juicy chicken breast with your choice of sides!

Cooking brisket in an air fryer may seem unconventional, but it can yield a deliciously tender and flavourful result. Here’s a simple guide to help you achieve the perfect air-fried brisket.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg brisket, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brisket: Start by patting the brisket dry with a kitchen towel. This will help achieve a better sear. Rub the olive oil all over the meat, then season generously with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed for maximum flavour.

2. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 160°C (320°F). This step is crucial to ensure that the brisket cooks evenly and develops a lovely crust.

3. Cook the Brisket: Place the seasoned brisket in the air fryer basket, ensuring that it’s not overcrowded. Cook for about 50-60 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 70°C (160°F) for medium doneness.

4. Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the brisket from the air fryer and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. After resting, slice the brisket against the grain for the best texture.

5. Serve: Enjoy your air-fried brisket with a side of roasted vegetables or in a hearty sandwich. The smokiness from the paprika combined with the air fryer's cooking method will leave you and your guests thoroughly impressed.

Cooking brisket in an air fryer is not only quick but also packed with flavour, making it a fantastic option for busy weeknights or special occasions.

At Dellaroca, where the kitchen buzzes with the rich aromas of Italian cuisine, cooking chicken fillets to perfection is an essential skill. To achieve tender, succulent chicken, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, place the fillets carefully in the pan. Cook them for about 6 to 7 minutes on one side, allowing a beautiful golden crust to form. Flip them over and continue cooking for another 5 to 6 minutes, checking that the internal temperature reaches a safe 75°C. For an added touch, a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of lemon juice just before serving will elevate the flavours and create a dish that resonates with the heart of Italian cooking.
