3. Add in beef and pork, mixing until all the meat is evenly incorporated and no unmixed pockets remain.

4. Using an ice cream scoop or a ¼ measuring cup, portion out meatballs, gently rolling them into uniform balls. Mixture should yield about 20-25 meatballs.

The food trend continues…we love our avocados! This is my favorite 3-ingredient breakfast, and I used to turn on the oven, wait for it to preheat, etc. But now, my air fryer makes breakfast in 8 minutes flat, with no preheating time and it’s brilliant. The egg is soft and delicious, the avocado is warm, which by the way, brings out all the flavor and creamy texture, and it’s just downright delicious. Your morning’s made~

Baked Egg in an Avocado Ingredients

2 ripe avocados
4 eggs
Pico de Gallo or your Salsa of choice or hot sauce
Salt & freshly ground pepper

Baked Egg in an Avocado Instructions

1. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit. Shave a thin strip off the bottom of each avocado half to allow it to sit flat. Scoop out the center of each avocado just a bit, to make the whole bigger (eat the excess!). 

2. Break an egg into each avocado half, season with salt and pepper and place the avocado halves in the basket of your air fryer. Air fry at 360ºF for 8 minutes.

4. To serve, spoon Pico de Gallo or salsa over top and enjoy.

Roasting a chicken is a classic dish that’s both delicious and versatile.

However, it can be challenging to get the perfect roasted chicken that’s moist and juicy on the inside with a crispy and flavorful exterior. Fortunately, with a few tips and tricks, you can achieve a delicious and moist roasted chicken every time. Whether you’re using a traditional oven or an air fryer oven.

If you’re using an air fryer oven, you can follow these same tips, with a few modifications. Air fryer Ovens typically cook faster than traditional ovens, so you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly. Another advantage is that, because air fryer ovens circulate hot air around the food. You may not need to baste the chicken as often or at all which makes for more juicy, more flavorful roasted chicken.

8-Tips for Perfect Results Every Time for the Mastering the Art of Juicy Roasted Chicken

Here are eight tips on how to cook a moist and juicy roasted chicken in your oven:

1. Brine the chicken:

Brining the chicken in a saltwater solution for a few hours or overnight before roasting can help the meat retain moisture and prevent it from drying out during cooking.

2. Use a roasting pan with a rack:

A roasting pan with a rack allows air to circulate around the chicken, which helps it cook more evenly and prevents it from sitting in its juices.

3. Stuff the cavity with aromatics:

Stuffing the cavity of the chicken with herbs, garlic, and lemon can infuse the meat with flavor and help keep it moist.

4. Rub the chicken with butter or oil:

Rubbing the skin of the chicken with butter or oil before roasting can help it brown evenly and create a crisp exterior that locks in moisture.

5. Use a meat thermometer:

A meat thermometer can help you ensure that the chicken is cooked to the right temperature without overcooking it. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken.

6. Baste the chicken:

Basting the chicken with its juices or a mixture of melted butter and herbs can help keep it moist and add flavor.

7. Let the chicken rest:

After the chicken is done cooking, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful chicken.

8. Tent the chicken with foil:

If the chicken is browning too quickly. And you’re worried it might dry out. Tenting it with foil can help prevent further browning and keep the moisture in.

By following these simple techniques, you’ll be able to create a moist and flavorful roasted chicken that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you’re choose to take the plunge with a traditional oven or get faster and more flavorful results from using a Blitz Air Fryer or Blitz MAXX Air Fry Oven.
