Salt Depends upon The Quantity of Hen: And the salting is essential. Right here’s what I like to recommend.

1 pound of hen breasts: 3/4 teaspoon desk salt (as written)
1.5 kilos of hen breasts: 1 teaspoon desk salt
If utilizing coarse kosher salt: 1 teaspoon salt for 1 pound of hen breasts 

Marinating: You may let the hen sit with the spices for an prolonged time frame – as much as 24 hours within the fridge – however for finest outcomes, wait so as to add the cornstarch till simply earlier than you throw it within the air fryer.

Paprika: For this recipe, paprika refers back to the floor spice labeled “floor paprika” or “paprika”. Paprika is nice right here for taste and coloration. There are tons of types of paprika on the market, together with smoked paprika, sizzling paprika, Hungarian paprika, or candy paprika. If you happen to comply with the quantities as written, you’ll get only a teeny tiny little bit of the smoky paprika so it’s only a bit extra wealthy and savory – simply that little further one thing that makes you go “mmmm” – with out being overwhelmingly smoky. To me, as written, it’s the proper mix. However in case you prefer to play, attempt different paprika ratios or herald different spices to your tastes!

Cheat Code for the Seasoning: This recipe could be very clutch with McCormick Rotisserie Hen Seasoning mix. Not sponsored, simply really easy and so good. I discovered a uncared for bottle of it after I was cleansing out my spice cupboard and it’s DELICIOUS on this hen. For a pound of hen, simply use about 1 tablespoon of the seasoning combine rather than the paprika, salt, onion and garlic powders. Then add your cornstarch and brown sugar to it and love your juicy, scrumptious hen life!

Wonderful Gochujang Dipping Sauce: That is my present favourite sauce to have with this hen, both in a bowl, a salad, or simply dipping the hen items straight in. Combine 1/2 cup mayo with about 2 tablespoons gochujang sauce (desk sauce, not paste), 1 clove grated garlic, a shot of soy sauce, and a splash of rice vinegar if you’d like. Season with salt and pepper. Oooof. So good.
