Coriander, Lime and Yogurt AirGrilled Chicken Wings
Being a working mom with a toddler and a husband to care for and a house to maintain to its sanity state, I will need everything and anything that would makes my life much easier! As far as food and tummies are concerned, I have pretty much conquered this section with the help of my amazing gadgets in the kitchen.
With Philips Airfryer you can always whip up a good, yummy and great dishes any time, any day. It works well in cooking raw or marinated meat either by AirBaking, AirFrying or AirBBQ - and now AirGrilling!
These may look like ordinary chicken wings until you give them a bite! I received many good comments from this dish - 21 months old darling said it taste really yummy too!
What makes this chicken wings so flavorful and tender?
Brine juice and Greek yogurt does the tricks! It tenderizes the chicken wings so beautifully and they are well infused with sweet, spicy and warm herbaceous aroma of fresh coriander with a subtle hint of zingy lime that awaken your taste buds.
What exactly is brining and what are its advantages?
Brining is process where you marinate the meat by soaking in a solution of water and salt, and it can be flavored with sugar, juices or seasonings. Soaking meats in brine juice will helps to ensure moist, juicy cooked meat.
The scientific explanation: the salt-water solution increases the juiciness of the meat by loosening the protein structure and this in return allows extra water and flavors to be trapped by the protein. The moisture and flavor are retained during the cooking process, making the meat juicy and tender.
