Crunchy Korean Chicken

Leave a comment

One of the main reasons I made the change from an air fryer with a rotating paddle, to a double drawer air fryer was to make crispy and crunchy chicken. I found the air fryer with the paddle seemed to knock off the  coating and I’d heard so many good things about the Ninja, I thought it would be worth the investment. This proved very quickly to be the right decision as we’ve used it almost daily since it was delivered and I can confirm, it’s the perfect vessel to make this Crunchy Korean Chicken.

This little number is a recipe I wrote when I was pregnant with my second child. I had a real craving for all things creamy and all things salmon one week and so this recipe was born. The flavour and texture of the sauce feel so indulgent and yet the amount of points/calories that the total meal comes to is really reasonable, definitely something that you can fit into your weekly menu plan.

When you want to be good but fancy a breakfast treat, these cookies are just the thing to whip up. Quick and easy to make, they make a lovely breakfast to have on the go, to make in advance for the week or to have with a cuppa as a snack later in the day. The texture of these cookies is delightful, rather than having a hard, biscuit snap, they are soft and gooey and can be pulled apart to be eaten.

When we used to live in Manchester we used to head to Altrincham Market most weekends as the food in there was always good. Inside there was the most amazing little window that served the freshest Korean Rice Bowls and they were always my go too choice of dinner. I got a proper craving for one this week and so I decided to try and recreate it at home. The result was delicious. Low in points yet so filling and satisfying, the flavours and textures of this dish are so fresh and zingy, you will want it again the next day!

We are lucky enough to live on the coast which means we have access to some amazing fishmongers with the most incredible fresh stock. We visit as much as we can and pick up whatever takes our fancy but one thing I always have in the freezer is a giant bag of king prawns. For around £12 you get enough prawns for at least 4 meals (so 8 portions) which is great value for money. The prawns are always huge, fresh and juicy too. If you don’t live near a fishmonger, supermarkets also sell a great range of fresh and frozen prawns, either will do. Just make sure if you use frozen, the prawns are thoroughly defrosted before cooking. I defrost mine by popping into a covered bowl in the fridge the night before.

Cheeseburger Pasta

Burger and Pasta…two of my favourite foods so surely the dream combo? The answer is yes, yes it is! I saw this dish on a restaurant menu months ago and thought I’ve got to recreate this at home myself. Not only is it delicious, it’s all done in the one pan so it’s really easy and creates minimal washing up. Not only that but it’s a perfect dish for kids as it combines all the lovely flavours of a classic burger and makes 6 portions. Perfect to feed the whole family and still have leftovers.

This recipe is so quick to prepare but it’s really important you do everything at the same time so it’s nice and hot when you serve it. In the main recipe I’ve included my take on a traditional carbonara but below I’ve also included a couple of variations which you can try if you want to either mix things up or bulk the recipe out further.

Apple Pie Baked Oats – 6sp

Coming back into the colder mornings, one of my favourite warming autumn breakfasts is baked oats. Easy to prepare in advance or on the day, they are a lovely filling breakfast which feel like a real treat at the same time.

Having had a craving for apple pie recently, I decided to combine the two dishes together to come up with something that would fill me until lunch but would satisfy my need for something sweet and fruity.
