Piri Piri flavours were made for the Air Fryer in our humble Maggi opinion! We love this recipe using our NEW Maggi Air Fryer Piri Piri Chicken served with a smoky corn salsa. So quick and truckloads of flava flava flava!
This dish has been optimized for 4 servings. Quantity and times may need to be varied. Here you can find more information about adjusted portion sizes:
If the quantities are increased, the cooking time may be extended, so look again. Use water & spices sparingly at first and add more later if needed.
HEAT: Preheat the air fryer to 190˚C.
COAT: Put the chicken into a bowl, add the oil and mix. Add the seasoning and mix again until coated.
COOK: Place the thigh fillets as flat as possible onto the air fry basket in one layer and cook for 15-18 minutes, turning 2-3 times during cooking for an even, crispy finish. Ensure the chicken is piping hot throughout before serving.
Make the salsa: boil the sweetcorn then char in a dry frying pan until some of the kernels on each side blacken slightly. Allow to cool then cut all the kernels off the sweetcorn using a sharp knife. Tip the sweetcorn into a bowl and mix with the chopped tomatoes, chilli paste, lime juice, olive oil and chopped herbs.
Cook the rice according to the pack instructions. Serve the hot chicken with the rice, corn salsa and green salad topped with the watermelon and seeds, if using.
