Airfried Crispy Spring Chicken

 

Been thinking to try using my Ninjafoodi to aircrisp crispy chicken especially my favourite spring chicken. 

Chanced upon this crispy flour while doing grocery shopping and I remembered I bought similar for karage and it gives a nice crispy exterior.

I marinate with some seasonings then leave it in the fridge, minimally about 3-4hours ahead. Once ready to aircrisp, I rub the crispy flour over the chicken and place it in the airfryer basket. And final touch is to brush some oil on the chicken before aircrisp it! 

To make it less sinful to eat, I laid them over plentiful of lettuce and pomelo with some sesame dressing and ate it as a meal. Yums! The 5-spice powder gives me nice flavour to the chicken.
