Air Fryer Guidelines

In order to prepare Chicken 65 in an air fryer, place all the chicken in the basket and generously spray it with oil. Cook the chicken at 350°F for 6 to 8 minutes, or until it is cooked through and crispy. Open the basket and drop in the sliced chilis and curry leaves. Toss it and continue cooking it for a further 2 to 4 minutes to get crispy curry leaves.

Serving Suggestions

Serve as a snack or you can pair this easy snack recipe with drinks of your choice.

Serve it as a snack amongst friends and families or as an appetizer. For this, it’s great to use appetizer picks.

My favorite way to serve Chicken 65 is with fresh naan and cilantro-mint chutney or curry leaf ranch for dinner. Cut up slices of red onion and serve with lemon wedges.

Storage suggestions

Store the chicken in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. To rewarm it, toss it in a heated skillet until warmed through. It can also be reheated in an air fryer at 375°F for 4 minutes or in the oven at 375°F for 7-8 minutes.

Tips and Variations

  • don’t overcook the chicken.
  • Cut the chicken into small pieces.
  • it will get cooked faster If you use boneless chicken. So keep checking the chicken whether is cooked.
