Can Chinese Salt & Pepper Chicken be cooked in a Ninja Airfryer?!

After doing the Salt & Pepper chips, someone said have you tried Chinese Salt & Pepper Chicken? (apologies I cannot remember who said that!) but I haven't ever tried it and it seemed logical to give it a go... so here it is, cooked in the Ninja Airfryer. I was very happy with the end result...
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching

After the salt and pepper chips turned out lovely I’m going to have to try these. I’ve watched twice and still haven’t caught when you added the 5 spice, I’m assuming it was with the cornflour. I’d love if you could add ingredients and brief method in the description. That’s not a criticism, I love what you do and I could watch you all day. Take care xx

[@andreamiller3976]

Oops, I forgot to say, it’s good to see your subscriber numbers growing by the day, keep up the great work ❤

[@queeniemyles4028]

Looked lovely

[@gracenurse9837]

just a thought kerry, try toasted sandwiches in the airfrier, they are nice and crispy , im sure the boys would love them when they come home from school.the chicken looks very nice i will be trying this and looking foreward to it

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thanks Grace, great idea - ham n cheese toasties are a firm favourite here😋😋👍

[@clairenew8283]

I agree, toasties are amazing in the airfryer! 😁 Xx

[@jeanparkin3446]

We have toasties at least twice a week but last week hubby cracked a tooth the dentist was happy anyway

[@alysoncaddick6344]

Made me feel hungry!

[@janishayes7366]

Looks deeeeeelicious Kerry, another one to try out 😋😋 Thank you again x

[@janishayes7366]

You're doing great on the Spice front Kerry x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thanks Janis 💕💕

[@chrisanten2396]

That does look great. My type of dinner yummy looks fabulous must try this

[@juliebajwa721]

That looked good. Better and cheaper than a takeaway which have got so expensive. Look forward to your daily updates on your allotment. Did your taste testers approve? You look like you enjoy cooking Kerry which adds to the enjoyment of your channel.

[@JudeT7]

Love watching you and have been making your recipes and they are delicious. Please I am having trouble finding your allotment videos.

[@alysoncaddick6344]

We had this yesterday evening for dinner. Delicious!

[@loismaudson6322]

It looks all delicious Kerry

[@j.brewer7717]

Oooo that's well tasty 😋😋 I bet your lads enjoyed it. Another great video, thank you x

[@budgetcookinguk]

They really did, Jimmy said kfc should give me a job. Wasn't sure how to take that lol but it's what he said and he meant it as a compliment!😄👍👍

[@bumblebee8416]

I love that you're adventurous! (new sub)

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aw thank you👋😀💕and thanks so much for subbing

[@karentoynton8948]

Yes looking forward to watching your allotment channel, todays food looked very tasty. Thank you for sharing,

[@patsyhelms1102]

That chicken looked great especially because I love hot peppers. Only problem is so much oil.

[@marilynray3911]

Looks absolutely delicious, 😀👍

[@debscox57]

Another great dish. I'm trying this tonight in my Ninja 9in1. However I will be using Frylight not oil plus rice in the microwave instead of potatoes. Thanks for your great videos ❤

[@Silverdale15]

Hi Kerry obviously im already following your allotment antics but now subscribed too brilliant stuff Kerry xxx

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you Carol! 😀💕1st one will be Monday woohoo!

[@jaquelinehighfield5436]

That was a chief's kiss, looked so good x

[@andreamiller3976]

Like you and the boys, hubby and i don’t tend to go for very spicy food but that looked so good I am definitely going to give it a go although I’ll use a pepper and dried chilli flakes rather than a full on fresh chill (small steps). I’m new to air fryers and I love to watch a recipe being made rather than just look at a recipe. Looking forward to the allotment channel and I’ve already subscribed.

[@acheface]

That looks absolutely lush.

[@joanedwards1120]

It looks restaurant quality kerry love your recipes 😊

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you Joan🥰🥰

[@sharonhawkins1845]

Looks really delicious Kerry x

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Sharon!😀💕💕

[@anneperry9014]

Mmmmmmm, delish. Well done again you. Mouthwateringly good!😋😊

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you Anne🥰🥰

[@glendabanyard70]

Aldi sell Chinese salt & pepper seasoning in a packet. It already has the cornflour etc. Will try it using that but will follow the rest of your recipe! Loving both your channels! Keep up the good work!

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you Glenda!! 💕💕

[@123tinhat123]

Salt and pepper chicken/chips/orginally came from Southern China so its claimed but the seasoning we like in the UK came from Liverpool Chinese chip shops. Ive been eating the stuff for years in Liverpool and always struggled to find it in other UK cities, its only just taken off in the last ten years in the UK and has now gone mainstream with some UK supermarkets claiming to sell salt & pepper products but Ive yet to taste anything decent. Maybe you cant mass produce this taste? Anyway great video and I hope like me youre hooked. Ps try a spicer version with your choice of chillies, its worth it.

[@budgetcookinguk]

Thank you😀👍 that was really interesting, love a bit of food history. Will def try it with a hotter chilli (slightly!)

[@jennifermharvey9882]

I love Chinese 5 spice

[@bimboclack7079]

Sorry for being late on parade had company last night i didn't think that they would ever leave 😊 anyhow that looked absolutely delicious 😋 i bet the boys enjoyed it glad you saved a morsel for Al as always absolutely brilliant video looking forward to Monday for the allotment video by the way I'm glad you did this video because the BOSS has argued with me about using the ninja as a fryer but because you have done it its now OK in our house to do it lol 😊😊😊😊😊

[@budgetcookinguk]

Catching up with comments Jimbo, your are better late than never💪😀 so never say sorry (you have lives!). If everybody stopped commenting I would probably miss your comments the most lol. Laugh out loud stuff. I'm torn between gunning for you and supporting the BOSS😂

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Gosh that chicken looks good

[@andrewhayes7055]

Easier and quicker in the wok I reckon .

[@SandraDent-lf4xy]

Well done Kerry, you were kept quite busy there. Your meal turned out lovely. It's surprising what you can do in the air fryer. I wondered if the Ninja had an element on the bottom. Do you still cook for your friend Valerie

[@budgetcookinguk]

Aww thank you Sandra😀👍💕 I do, Valerie has a Sunday roast and we always have a spag bol on a Monday or Tuesday and she has a bowl of that too. I take her shopping with me on my weekly shop ever since the town centre marks n spencers closed down 😀👍💕my gran had the best neighbour ever and this is my payback 🥰🥰

[@sharonmckendry7189]

Salt and pepper chicken my favourite 😋🤤 xx

[@budgetcookinguk]

First time trying for me Sharon😄, never even heard of it til someone mentioned it, think I must have lived under a rock lol

[@MrBigred1990]

Reckon this would work with chicken wings?

[@MrBigred1990]

Tried it and you can! One for you to add to the list 😅

[@jennifermharvey9882]

Kerry could you not put all the chicken in in one go

[@budgetcookinguk]

Hi Jennifer 👋😀the recipe said cook the chicken in batches so I did

[@jennifermharvey9882]

I loved you jug

[@budgetcookinguk]

It's very cute Jennifer, if I broke it I would have been gutted. It's quite old lol
