Air Fryer Creamy Garlic Chicken - A tantalizing recipe featuring tender chicken pieces infused with smoky spices, crowned by a velvety garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Smokey BBQ spice
- 1 tbsp Smoked paprika
- ½ tbsp Salt
- ½ tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Chicken pieces
For the sauce
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Crushed garlic
- Chopped mushrooms (as desired)
- 2 tbsp Nando’s Garlic Peri Peri Sauce
- 2 tbsp Amina’s Prego Sauce
- 1 tbsp Smokees chili flakes
- ¾ cup Fresh cream
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with Smokey BBQ spice, smoked paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and mix until all the pieces are coated evenly with the spices.
- Preheat your air fryer to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Place the seasoned chicken pieces into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip the pieces and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden-brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add crushed garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Toss in the chopped mushrooms and let them simmer in the pan until they release their flavors and become tender.
- Add Nando’s Garlic Peri Peri Sauce, Amina’s Prego Sauce, and Smokees chili flakes to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Pour in the fresh cream and continue to simmer the sauce gently. Season with salt according to your taste preferences.
- Once the chicken is cooked, carefully transfer the pieces into the pan with the sauce. Coat the chicken with the creamy garlic sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Air Fryer Creamy Garlic Chicken hot and garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. It pairs well with steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
