Delicious Fish ’n’ Chips Recipe With All the Crunch of the Original But Less Added Fat
Fish ‘n’ chips originated in England in the 1800’s. It is considered by many to be a national dish. Today this treat is common fare in fish shacks and restaurants around the world. But it’s easy to make at home with just a few simple steps. If you’re looking for a lightened-up version of this deep-fried dish, our Fish ‘n’ Chips recipe is bound to become a new favorite.
First, we make the chips (or “fries” here in the U.S.) in the air fryer. These better-for-you spuds cook up with the crisp texture we all crave but with far less oil. For the cod, we combine flour and Old Bay. The seasoning perfectly complements the cod’s mild flavor. Next, coat the fish in the batter and shallow-fry. It turns out moist and flaky inside and crunchy outside. Once you give it a try, leave us a comment below. And for more lightened-up yum, check out these air fryer snacks that cook up in no time.
