# Air-Fried Chicken Tenders Recipe
## Ingredients
- **Brined chicken thighs, cut into tenders** (approx. 1 in. x 3 in.): Brining improves moisture retention.
- **1 cup buttermilk**: Acts as a tenderizer and adhesive for coatings.
- **1/2 cup cornstarch**: For a crispier exterior.
- **1/2 cup all-purpose flour**: Provides structure to the coating.
- **1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder**: Flavoring agents.
- **Salt and pepper to taste**: Adjust based on the brine's saltiness.
- **2 cups crushed cornflakes**: For a crunchy texture.
- **Cooking spray (optional)**: For even browning in the air fryer.
## Preparation
1. **Ingredient Prep**: After brining, rinse and pat chicken dry to ensure no excess salt.
2. **Setup Dredging Stations**: Buttermilk, flour mixture (cornstarch, flour, spices), and cornflakes in separate dishes.
3. **Dredging Process**: Dip tenders in buttermilk, then flour mixture, back in buttermilk, and press into cornflakes.
## Air Frying: The Science
- **Preheat Air Fryer** to 380°F (193°C). Consistent temperature is key for even cooking.
- **Cooking Process**: Place tenders in a single layer. Light spray of cooking oil can aid in even browning and crispiness.
- **Duration**: Air fry for 12-14 minutes. Flip halfway for uniform cooking.
- **Temperature Check**: Ensure internal temperature is 165°F (74°C). Adjust cooking temp if exterior browns too quickly.
## Post-Cooking
- **Resting**: Allow tenders to rest for a few minutes for juice redistribution.
## Tips
- **Cornflake Consistency**: Uniformly crushed for even cooking.
- **Batch Cooking**: Keep cooked tenders warm in a low-temperature oven.
- **Flavor Variations**: Experiment with spice blends.
Enjoy your crispy, juicy air-fried chicken tenders, a testament to the wonders of food science in your kitchen!

# Shoyu Chicken Recipe
A flavorful and tender chicken dish marinated and simmered in a rich soy sauce-based mixture, served over white rice.
## Ingredients
- 4-6 Chicken Thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1 1/2 cups Water
- 1 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
- 1 thumb-sized piece of Ginger, cut into slices
- 5 Garlic Cloves, smashed but whole
- 7 Spring Onions, chopped in large chunks
- Sesame Seeds for garnish
- 1-1.5 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with cold water (for slurry)
- White Rice, for serving
## Directions
1. **Marinate Chicken**: In a large pot, combine water, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and spring onions. Trim excess fat from the chicken thighs and add them to the pot. Marinate for about 24 hours in the refrigerator.
2. **Cook Chicken**: Bring the pot to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Rotate the chicken, then simmer for another 15 minutes. Check if the internal temperature of the thighs is at 180°F. If so, turn off the heat and let them sit in the pan for 30 minutes.
3. **Broil Chicken**: Remove the chicken thighs and place them on a broiler pan. Broil for 3-4 minutes to brown and crisp the skin.
4. **Prepare Sauce**: Remove the aromatics from the pot. Bring the liquid to a boil, then add the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.
5. **Serve**: Serve the chicken on white rice, ladling the thickened sauce on top. Garnish with sesame seeds.

## Ingredients:
- 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lbs yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup regular balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 bay leaves
For finishing:
- 2 tbsp high-quality balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- Fresh thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
## Instructions:
1. Prep (15 minutes):

2. Layer in slow cooker (5 minutes):
- Place sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Arrange chicken breasts on top of the onions in a single layer.
- Pour the seasoned broth mixture over the chicken.

3. Slow cook:

Absolutely, using a slow cooker for BBQ chicken drumsticks is a great idea for tender, fall-off-the-bone meat. Here’s how to adjust the recipe for slow cooking:
### Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Drumsticks Recipe
**Ingredients:**
- **Chicken:**
- 4 lbs chicken drumsticks
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- **Marinade/Sauce:**
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 and 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (homemade or your favorite brand)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust based on heat preference)
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
- 3 bay leaves
- Optional: 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (for added tanginess)
**Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Marinade:**
- In a bowl, combine barbecue sauce, brown sugar, cumin, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar (if using). Mix well to blend the flavors.
- Stir in the chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped basil, and bay leaves.
2. **Marinate the Drumsticks (Optional):**
- Season the drumsticks with salt and pepper.
- You can optionally marinate the drumsticks in the prepared sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor, but this step can be skipped if you're short on time.
3. **Cook in the Slow Cooker:**
- Place the seasoned drumsticks in the slow cooker.
- Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, making sure they are well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for about 6-7 hours or on high for about 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
4. **Finish with a Glaze:**
- If you desire a more caramelized finish, you can transfer the cooked drumsticks to a baking sheet lined with foil or a silicone mat.
- Broil in the oven for 2-5 minutes on high, or until the outside is slightly crisped and caramelized.
- Alternatively, before serving, you can remove the drumsticks, pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a saucepan, bring it to a boil, and simmer until thickened to use as a glaze or serving sauce.
5. **Serve:**
- Brush the drumsticks with the reduced sauce if you’ve thickened it on the stovetop, or serve them directly from the slow cooker, garnished with fresh basil.
Using the slow cooker makes this dish wonderfully effortless and perfect for a no-fuss dinner. Enjoy your slow-cooked BBQ chicken drumsticks!

### Best Practices:

# Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken Recipe
## Ingredients:
- 5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
- Salt to taste (if brined, additional salt may not be necessary)
## Instructions:
1. If brined, rinse chicken breasts and pat dry. If not, lightly season with salt.
2. Place sliced onions and chopped celery at the bottom of the slow cooker. This will create a flavor base and prevent the chicken from sticking.
3. Arrange chicken breasts on top of the vegetables in a single layer if possible.
4. In a bowl, mix chicken broth with garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and black pepper.
5. Pour the seasoned broth over the chicken breasts, ensuring all pieces are moistened.
6. Add bay leaves to the slow cooker.
7. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain consistent temperature and moisture.
8. Check for doneness at 6 hours. The chicken is ready when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and shreds easily with a fork.
9. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes.
10. Shred the chicken using two forks or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
11. Strain the cooking liquid, discarding the vegetables. Reserve the liquid.
12. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker and add back about 1 cup of the strained cooking liquid (or more if needed) to keep the meat moist.
13. Let the shredded chicken sit in the warm (but turned off) slow cooker for about 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
## Storage and Use:
- Divide into portion-sized containers.
- Refrigerate portions to be used within 3-4 days.
- Freeze remaining portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
- When reheating, add a splash of chicken broth or water to maintain moisture.

3. Place the chicken thighs in the slow cooker on top of the onions, and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken.
