1 ADOBO CHICKEN THIGHS

2 ADOBO CHICKEN THIGHS Prep time: 5 minutes Total time: 30 minutes plus time to marinate Ingredients Four 6- to 7-ounce bone-in chicken thighs 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons cider vinegar 6 tablespoons soy sauce 1 ½ tablespoons minced garlic 2 bay leaves 1 tablespoon olive oil Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons honey Place the chicken thighs in a plastic resealable food storage bag along with 3 tablespoons of the vinegar, 3 tablespoons of the soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. Seal the bag and move the thighs around so as to evenly distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and let return to room temperature, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken from the marinade, brush the thighs on both sides with the oil, and season on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken in the basket of the Emeril s Air Fryer and set the temperature to 360 F for 20 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Let chicken rest for at least 5 minutes before serving. While the chicken is cooking, combine the remaining ½ cup vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and honey in a very small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened to a consistency that coats the back of a spoon, taking care not to over reduce the liquid, as this will easily burn. Remove from the heat. Serve the chicken drizzled with the reduced vinegar-soy mixture. Serves 4

4 AIR FRIED ASPARAGUS WITH CHORON SAUCE Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 30 minutes Ingredients 1/3 cup white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon minced shallots 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns 2 tablespoons tarragon leaves, plus 1 tablespoon chopped 3 egg yolks 2 teaspoons warm water 1 cup clarified butter Salt and white pepper, to taste 4 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced 1 pound asparagus, woody ends trimmed Choron sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, shallots, peppercorns and 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and set over medium-high heat. Bring the saucepan to a boil and reduce by 2/3, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain into a heatproof bowl. Add the egg yolks and water and whisk to incorporate. Set over a pan of simmering water and continue to whisk until the egg starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the bowl from the heat, and slowly drizzle a little of the clarified butter into the bowl. Whisk constantly to incorporate. Return the bowl to the heat, whisk again, and when the egg starts to thicken again, continue to add more of the butter to the egg. Continue in this on-the-heat, off-the-heat fashion until all of the clarified butter is incorporated. Season to taste with salt and white pepper. Fold the tomato into the sauce. Add the chopped tarragon and keep sauce warm while you cook the asparagus (do not allow the sauce to boil or it will separate.)

9 AIR FRIED GREEN ONION AND CHEDDAR BISCUITS

10 AIR FRIED GREEN ONION AND CHEDDAR BISCUITS Prep time: 15 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Ingredients 1¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting ½ cup cake flour ¾ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon granulated sugar ¾ teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus 3 tablespoons melted ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese 3 tablespoons chopped green onions ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoon butter milk Softened butter, for serving (optional) Sift the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a medium bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the cold butter into the flour until the pieces are pea-sized. Add the Cheddar and green onions and toss to combine. Add the buttermilk and, with your hands or a rubber spatula, stir until the milk and flour come together to form a dough. Be careful not to over mix. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and place the dough on top of the flour. Use your hands to press the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick disk about 8-inches in diameter. Using a 1¾-inch round cutter dusted with flour, cut out 10 dough rounds. Be sure to press straight down when cutting the dough - a twisting motion will prevent the dough from rising. Lightly brush the bottom of the baking pan with a bit of the melted butter, then arrange the biscuits in the baking pan, in one layer, and brush with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter. Place the baking pan in the Emeril s Air Fryer and set to 400 F for 8 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. While the biscuits are cooking, gather the dough scraps and pat together gently, then reroll and cut out as many additional biscuits as possible. When the first biscuits are done, remove them from the Air Fryer and serve with butter if desired. When the baking pan has cooled, wipe it out if necessary, brush the bottom with more butter, place remaining biscuits in the pan, brushing the tops of the biscuits with the remaining tablespoon of butter, and bake as directed. About 20 mini biscuits, 4 to 6 servings
