A quick-cooking Ethiopian classic, doro tibs marinates chicken pieces in a homemade spice blend with red pepper before air-frying them without extra oil. With no added sugar in the marinade it fits a diabetic diet, and it uses far less fat than the traditional pan-fried version.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the spice blend

5 min

Combine the chilli flakes, cumin, black pepper and cinnamon into a homemade spice blend.

2

Marinate the chicken

15 min

Rub the chicken with the spice blend, crushed garlic, grated ginger, olive oil and salt, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

3

Air-fry

15 min

Arrange the marinated chicken in the air fryer basket and cook at a preheated 200°C for 15 minutes, turning once halfway. If you do not have an air fryer, bake on a lined tray in an oven preheated to 220°C for 25 minutes instead.

4

Add the vegetables

5 min

Add the red pepper and onion to the same basket and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables soften, then serve.

Reminder

If you cook the chicken without marinating it for at least 15 minutes, the spices will not fully penetrate, so extend the time if you can.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Double the spice mix and keep the extra in a jar for next time; using less cinnamon softens the blend's slightly sweet note.

Baharat karışımını önceden büyükçe bir kavanozda hazırlayıp saklasam kaç hafta bozulmadan dursun? Airfryer'da 200 derece yerine biraz daha düşük sıcaklıkta pişirsem tavuk daha mı yumuşak kalır?
