Air Fryer Chicken and Chorizo (2024)

Delicious and super easy Air Fryer Chicken and Chorizo, perfect for when you need a meal on the table fast.

This is what in the UK is called Spanish Chicken or Spanish Style Chicken.

And I totally would have called it that, except I never ate anything like this growing up in Spain.

But if you want to call this dish Air Fryer Spanish Chicken or Spanish-Style Chicken, go for it!

This recipe was developed at the Kitchen Gadget Hub a few days after my Air Fryer Smoky Fajita Chicken, and will be great with Greek Roast Potatoes.

If you have a pressure cooker with an air fryer lid as well as a standalone air fryer (or even two pressure cookers with air fryer lids!), you could have both this Chicken and Chorizo and the Greek Roast Potatoes cooking at the same time to make your life easier.

Ingredients

• chicken breasts
• red onion
• pepper
• garlic cloves
• chorizo sausage, not the type of chorizo you buy in slices but the one you buy as a sausage (it can be either cooking chorizo or ready to eat chorizo)
• pepper
• baby tomatoes

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

This recipe is as easy as adding all the ingredients to the air fryer and programming the time.

Then serve immediately or chill quickly and save for tomorrow's lunch.

Hint: Squeeze the garlic out and discard the skin, toss it with the chicken.

See recipe card for full instructions.

Substitutions

• Chicken breasts - you could replace with chicken thigh fillets. If you have bone-in chicken thighs, you'll have to increase the air frying time, check they are cooked through before serving
• Chorizo - don't want to use chorizo or don't have any? Then add a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
• Red onion - you don't have to use red onion, brown will be fine
• Yellow pepper - choose your favourite colour, it doesn't have to be yellow!

Variations

• Spicy - use spicy chorizo or add chilli flakes during air frying, the other option is to add chopped fresh red or green chilli after air frying

Equipment

I used an Instant Vortex Air Fryer for the timings of this recipe. Air fryers are just like ovens so always check that your food is cooked through.

And make sure you read how to use an Air Fryer and watch the video.

Top tip

Prepare the ingredients ahead of time and pop them in the air fryer for a super quick meal.

In fact, this Air Fryer Chicken and Chorizo is a perfect quick midweek meal.

How to serve

Delicious on its own, with mashed potatoes, in wraps, tossed through pasta or rice, with a salad... the options are endless!

Food safety

A few tips from me:

• Always wash your hands straight after touching raw meat
• Same with your knives, boards and utensils, use separate ones for raw meat and wash them well before using for anything else
• Don't leave food at room temperature for extended periods, always cool down quickly and chill or freeze as soon as you can
• Always chill left over rice as soon as you can and always within half an hour.
