Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Chopped fresh cilantro or Thai basil for garnish
A squeeze of fresh lime juice for added brightness
A drizzle of sriracha or Thai chili sauce for extra heat
Toasted coconut flakes or crushed peanuts for texture
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures even heating while keeping the chicken juicy and the rice fluffy.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Lightly cover the top with foil to retain moisture and prevent the rice from drying out.
Step 3: Air Fry the Thai-Style Coconut Curry Chicken
First Round: Cook at 375°F for 14-16 minutes with foil on top.
Second Round: Remove the foil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the rice is fully heated.
For Extra Creaminess: Stir in a teaspoon of coconut milk or butter in the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the meal from the air fryer and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before eating.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, or toasted coconut flakes for extra flavor.
How to Serve This Thai-Style Coconut Curry Chicken
Classic Thai Style: Serve with extra jasmine rice or Thai sticky rice.
Savory Upgrade: Add extra coconut curry sauce or a drizzle of fish sauce.
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle with red chili flakes or Thai bird’s eye chilies.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Cover with foil for the first 14 minutes to keep the rice from drying out.
For a slightly thickened curry sauce, remove the foil for the last 5 minutes.
Want extra Thai flavor? Stir in a teaspoon of fish sauce or lemongrass paste before serving.
For added texture, top with crushed peanuts or crispy fried shallots.
