Air Fried Beer Battered Fish And Chips Recipes

AIR FRYER FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Peel russet potato and cut into 12 wedges. Pour 3 cups water into a medium bowl and submerge potato wedges for 15 minutes. Drain off water and replace with fresh water. Soak wedges for 15 more minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Pour in 1/2 cup malt beer and stir to combine. If batter seems too thick, add remaining beer 1 tablespoon at a time.
• Place cod fillets on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a drip rack. Spoon 1/2 of the batter over the fillets. Place rack in freezer to allow batter to solidify, about 35 minutes. Flip fillets over and coat the remaining side with the batter. Return to freezer for an additional 35 minutes.
• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 8 minutes.
• Cook frozen fish fillets for 15 minutes, flipping at the halfway point.
• Meanwhile, drain off water from potato wedges and blot dry with a paper towel. Toss with oil, salt, and pepper. Air fry for 15 minutes.

AIR-FRYER BEER-BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Pat fish dry; refrigerate while making batter.
• Whisk 3/4 cup flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a shallow dish; set aside. Whisk the remaining 1 cup flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Add beer and egg and whisk until smooth (the batter should be thick). Refrigerate the batter.
• Preheat air fryer to 390°F (see Tip). Coat the basket generously with cooking spray. Remove the fish and batter from the refrigerator and set a large rimmed baking sheet on the counter. Pat the fish dry again. Lightly dredge each piece of fish in the flour-spice mixture, tapping off excess, and transfer to one half of the baking sheet. Spread the remaining flour-spice mixture on the other half of the baking sheet.
• Using 2 forks, dip a piece of fish into the batter, letting excess batter drip off, then place in the flour-spice mixture, gently flipping until well coated. Repeat with the remaining fish. Once all the fish is coated, spray the top side with cooking spray until no dry flour remains. Arrange the fish pieces sprayed-side down in the air-fryer basket, without touching. Generously spray the tops and sides of the fish with cooking spray. Cook until the coating is golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 13 minutes. Gently remove the fish with a flexible spatula (some batter may stick to the bottom of the basket). Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and serve immediately.

AIR FRYER BEER BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
• Peel and then cut the potatoes lengthwise into thick slices that are about 1/2 inch thick. Pat them dry.
• Place the potato slices into a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
• Cook the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer for 7-10 minutes, toss the fries and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes (or until the fries have reached your desired crispness). [Note: You will likely need to do multiple batches in order to cook all the fries. Do not overcrowd your air fryer or they will not get crispy.]
• Cut the white fish into filets that are about 4 inches each.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with the cornstarch, baking soda, egg, and beer. You should have a thick batter.
• In another bowl, combine the remaining flour with the salt, pepper, old bay, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Dip each filet of white fish first into the flour mixture so that they are all coated.
• Then use tongs to dip each filet into the beer batter, gently shaking off any excess batter, and then into the flour mix again, making sure to evenly coat each side.
• Finally, recoat the filet in the batter and place it on a piece of greased aluminum foil cut to fit your air fryer basket.
• Cook the fish in a single layer in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes before flipping and cooking an additional 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the fish in two batches so that it can cook and brown evenly. Do not overcrowd your fryer.
• Serve immediately.
