✨ LEMONGRASS CHICKEN IN 20 MIN? YES!✨
Tired after work but craving something DELISH? This saved my week!
🍗 All I did:
1. Cut chicken into small pieces (cooks faster!)
2. Marinate with Maggi Lemongrass ready paste 🌿
(30 mins or overnight if you plan ahead!)
3. Air fry – 14 mins only because my pieces were small! ⏱️
(Normally 20 mins for bigger pieces)
That’s it. No chopping, no blending, NO FUSS.
Crispy outside, juicy inside, and that lemongrass flavor? 🤤👌

If you're looking to elevate your air fryer lemongrass chicken even further, here are some tips I've found helpful. First, marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to deeply penetrate, but planning ahead for an overnight marinate can make the taste truly stand out. While I like cutting the chicken into small pieces to reduce cooking time to 14 minutes, you can air fry larger pieces for about 20 minutes at 200°C for perfectly cooked chicken. Aside from air frying, there's the option of pan-frying the lemongrass chicken for about 13 minutes or baking it in the oven for 40 minutes if you prefer those methods. Each gives you a slightly different texture but equally delicious results. I also discovered that using Maggi lemongrass ready paste is a game-changer, as it saves the hassle of chopping fresh lemongrass and blends the flavors nicely. This paste is affordable and easily found in stores. For those curious about handling whole chicken, learning how to cut a whole cooked chicken into 8 pieces can expand your cooking options and make portioning easier for meals. Overall, this recipe is a simple weeknight dinner fix that's fuss-free yet packed with flavor—highly recommend trying it out for your next quick meal prep!
