Red Fermented Bean Curd aka Nam Yu Fried Chicken (air fry/ deep fry recipe) 南乳炸鸡（气炸／油炸）

I love anything cooked with Nam Yu (南乳, aka red fermented bean curd). I braised pork ribs with Nam Yu, air-fried pork belly with Nam Yu and many more. This Nam Yu Fried Chicken is one of my favourites. Succulent and flavourful. This recipe that I'm sharing here can be used for air-fried or deep frying in hot oil.

I have this Ninja Foodi pressure cooker with an air-frying function, so I'd go for the healthier and less oily version. Making the batter for air frying is a challenge because most batter doesn't coat well after air fried. I have tried different methods of coating the chicken - with tapioca flour, bread crumbs and cornflour. Out of all these, I find that cornflour gives a better texture and crispiness, coat with cornflour batter or just cornflour. Both versions are crispy and nice. And of course, you'll need a good air-frying gadget which able to distribute the heat evenly to fry the chicken to perfection.

Coated with Cornflour batter, air-fried 20mins. 

Coat with cornflour, air-fried 15 mins.

10 Small Chicken Drumsticks/ Chicken Wings 十只鸡腿（小）／鸡翅膀

The Ninja Foodi that I'm using is a combination of a pressure cooker and air fryer in one appliance. Besides pressure cooking and air frying, there are other functions such as steam, slow cook, sear/ saute, bake/ roast, grill, dehydrate, sous vide, yoghurt, and keep warm. This cooker helps prepare quick meals without hassle, which I highly recommend to everyone who loves easy and hassle-free cooking with fewer pots and pans to wash. If you're interested, you can use our exclusive discount code to buy at the best market rate. I've attached the details and links below for easy reference.
