Cheese Fries Chicken Serves: 3 as part of a multi-course meal Total cost per serving: $1.97 What I used: 8 mid-joint wings (marinated in 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon corn starch for at least an hour) Frozen pop corn chicken (250g) 2 tablespoons Self-raising flour 2 tablespoons Potato starch Half teaspoon 5-spice powder A sprinkle of salt 2 slices President cheddar cheese singles Mayonnaise Ketchup Spring onions Steps: 1. Preheat airfryer to 180C. 2. In a curved plate, combine the five-spice powder, salt, self raising flour and potato starch (1:1 ratio). 3. Coat the wings with the flour mixture and shake off any excess. Spray on some cooking oil. Airfry at 180C for 10 minutes, then 200C for 5 minutes. If using pop corn chicken, airfry them after the chicken wings are done. 4. Return the fried chicken into the airfryer and top with cheddar cheese. Airfry til cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes. 5. Arrange on a plate and dress with mayo, ketchup and spring onions. Have fun eating! How much I spent: $2.40 for mid-joint wings $3.50 for frozen pop corn chicken (I used about half a packet- 250g- where the 500g packet costs $7) Everything else from my pantry

I wasn’t thinking of posting this “recipe”– that explains the makeshift photos– but I’m quite intrigued by it.

This was tonight’s dinner. I was in a lazy mood with no plans to cook anything but the husband needed to eat. He “ordered” a #friedchickenparty from his personal chef (me) and I, being the very challenging wife wife who’s always up for a challenge, gladly took it up.

I had some marinated mid-joint wings that I was going to cook for tomorrow’s dinner, maybe simply airfried without batter or coating, but I decided that this chicken was going to come to good use tonight. I coated the wings with some self-raising flour, potato starch, five-spice powder and salt, and airfried it til super crispy. And to make it a fried chicken platter, I airfried some frozen tom yum pop corn chicken I had in the fridge.

All this while I had NO IDEA this was going to turn out the way it did.. all I knew was that I had to dress it up. How to serve anyone plain brown chicken? I opened the chiller and saw cheddar cheese– I was going to melt it– and then I saw my new squeezable bottle of Heinz mayonnaise, and I was going to use it.
