Recipes

Lemon and Herb Rotisserie Chicken

• Serves 4/Prep time 10 minutes
• 1-1.3kg whole chicken Cook time 60 minutes
• 1 lemon, cut into ¼’s 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp olive oil Salt and pepper

Place the chicken onto a dinner size plate. Cut 2 lengths of kitchen string to pass underneath the bottom of the chicken widthways at one end, securing on top in a knot. Repeat at the other end of the chicken so that the legs and wings are secure. Insert the rod lengthways through the carcass of the chicken and secure at both ends with the forks. Push the lemon pieces into the cavity of the chicken, brush all over with the oil. Dust with the oregano and seasoning. Select Air Fry on the oven and adjust the temperature to 200ºC with a time of 60 minutes. Ensure the Rotisserie icon is illuminated and allow the oven to heat. Ensure the drip tray is inserted on the bottom of the oven to catch any fatty residue from the chicken. Carefully place the rotisserie spit into the hot oven. Once the cooking time has finished, allow the chicken to rest in the hot oven for a further 5 minutes before carefully removing. Remove the Rotisserie spit and string from the chicken before carving.

Takeaway Style Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings Serves 3-4 Prep Time 20 minutes

• 1 kg fresh Chicken Wings
• 1 tsp Chinese 5 spice
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 green pepper, thinly sliced
• 2 red chillies, thinly sliced
• 2 green chillies, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp dried chilli flakes
• 1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and sliced
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• For the salt and pepper seasoning
• 2 tbsp salt
• ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tbsp sugar
• ½ tbsp Chinese 5 spice

Place the chicken wings in a large bowl, sprinkle over 1 generous tsp of Chinese 5 spice and rub well in, coating each wing with some of the seasoning. Turn on the oven and select the chicken icon, adjust the temperature to 200c, time 35 minutes and allow the oven to preheat. Spread the chicken wings out, on 2 of the Air Flow racks, inserting these into the hot oven in the top and middle position (swap over 15 minutes into the cooking time). Ensure the drip tray is in position in the bottom of the oven to catch any drips. Whist these are cooking combine the salt and pepper seasoning ingredients into small bowl. Heat a suitable sized frying pan over a medium heat, add the oil, onion and green pepper and stir fry for approx. 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the chillies, chilli flakes, spring onions and garlic and continue cooking for a further minute, remove from the heat. Once the chicken wings have cooked for 30 minutes, remove the trays from the oven and sprinkle the hot wings generously with the salt and pepper seasoning. Spoon over the cooked onion and pepper mixture and return to the hot oven to finish cooking for the remaining 5 minutes. If like your wings and spice to be extra crispy and charred, continue cooking for a further 5 minutes. Remove the wings from the trays and drizzle with a little sesame oil. Serve immediately with a bowl of prawn crackers.

Whilst the vegetables are cooking, mix the remaining olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, cumin, coriander and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
