Do I have to pre-heat my air fryer?

I’ve seen numerous combined details about this. Some sources say you completely should pre-heat your air fryer and a few say you needn’t hassle. I feel it most likely is determined by the model of air fryer you personal, so chances are you’ll need to examine your handbook. I’ve a COSORI model air fryer and don’t pre-heat for this recipe.

In case you’re unsure about your explicit mannequin, be at liberty to simply run it for a couple of minutes earlier than you add the hen to make sure.

Recipe Notes

• Caesar Dressing: I used Marzetti Merely Creamy Caesar dressing, which is barely 50 energy for 2 tablespoons and is basically tasty. I positively suggest it! In case you can’t discover that one in every of have one other mild Caesar dressing you like (like Ken’s), be at liberty to make use of that as a substitute!
• Sandwich Rolls: I used Martin’s Potato Sandwich Rolls and they’re tremendous tasty on this recipe! These are one of many sandwich rolls/hamburger buns my household buys typically. As soon as they’re toasted up with just a little garlic salt per the recipe directions the flavour actually mimics that of a crouton you’d get in a Caesar salad!
• Parmesan: I purchase a wedge of Parmesan cheese and shred it myself with a field grater for this recipe for optimum taste. In case you purchase shredded Parmesan in a bath at your grocery retailer you can too use that and it ought to work high-quality. I do suggest shredding it your self when you have the time although! It’s scrumptious!
• Lemon: I like the intense, recent, tart citrus taste that squeezing the lemon wedge excessive earlier than including the bun lid offers this sandwich. In case you make this with out lemon I’m certain it is going to nonetheless be scrumptious, however I actually suppose the lemon squeeze is worth it!
• Salad: Regardless that you’ll use two cups of lettuce to make the salad topping, as soon as it’s dressed it will likely be extra like a bit over 1 ½ cups. Dressing simply weighs it down a bit. That’s why the recipe says to place a rounded 1/3 cup of salad topping on every sandwich. It’s greater than 1/3 cup, however lower than ½ cup per sandwich.
• Re-heating: To re-heat my hen cutlets when there’s leftovers I normally simply switch a cutlet from the fridge proper again into my air fryer and warmth it up at 350 for about 5 minutes till it’s crispy on the surface and heated by way of once more.

Rooster Cutlets

Thinly lower hen cutlets are bought within the meat part of most grocery shops, so positively be at liberty to simply seize these for this recipe. I typically purchase massive bulk packs of boneless, skinless hen breasts at my grocery retailer after which use kitchen shears to trim them down into the sizes and shapes I take advantage of often in recipes. It’s cheaper to purchase the breasts in bulk and since I take advantage of hen breasts so much in my recipes it is smart for me! I usually lower the massive hen breasts widthwise into cutlets (normally 4 oz – 6 oz every) like those used on this recipe. Any hen that’s lower off to make these I then lower into small chunks to make hen bites. It’s straightforward to weigh out 1 lb or extra of hen chunks or tenders and a few 4, 5, or 6 oz cutlets and freeze them for later in quart dimension freezer baggage. That approach, I all the time have some cutlets and a few hen bites readily available to make use of in my recipes! I like to recommend chopping the hen down utilizing kitchen shears reasonably than a knife, it simply works extra shortly and simply, in my view.
