Despite being first introduced over a decade ago, the air fryer became one of the must-have items for your kitchen last year, with sales soaring by a whopping 3,000 per cent between November 2021 and November 2022 as people looked for ways to save energy while cooking. Figures from Utilita suggested that the average running cost of an electric cooker was £335.57 a year while an air fryer was six times less, at an average cost of £55.71 a year.
Having bought one as a Christmas present, I have loved learning how to cook different recipes in it that I would normally cook in the oven. For inspiration I normally do what every Gen Z person does and head to TikTok or Instagram, and this is where I found the recipe for Pringles chicken - that's chicken fried in a coating made of Pringles crisp crumbs.
The recipe was relatively straightforward and you only need four ingredients: egg, flour, chicken and Pringles. I decided that I would try two different flavours (sour cream and onion and Texas BBQ) and see how they tasted. The video I followed didn’t have any measurements so I kind of winged it and went by eye.
