This air fryer Thai pandan chicken recipe uses fragrant pandan leaves to infuse incredible flavor. Learn why air frying this Thai chicken recipe beats deep frying every time for a healthier, equally tasty meal.
Pandan chicken (Gai Haw Bai Toey) is one of Thailand's most iconic street food dishes — fragrant, juicy chicken wrapped in pandan leaves. Most recipes call for deep frying, but your air fryer does something deep frying can't: it traps the pandan steam inside the parcel, infusing every bite with more flavour, not less.
In this video you'll learn:
✅ Why air frying pandan chicken beats deep frying (the steam science)
✅ How to wrap pandan parcels so they don't unravel in the air fryer
✅The exact temperature and timing for perfectly golden, juicy chicken
✅ How to make the dipping sauce that makes this dish complete
No deep fryer. No mess. Restaurant-quality results from the air fryer you already own.
