Ingredients for Black Pepper Roasted Chicken Serves 4
Chicken thighs 1 kg Minced ginger 1/2 tablespoon Coarse salt 1/2 tablespoon White wine 1/4 tablespoon Black pepper 1/2 tablespoon Fish sauce 2 tablespoons Annatto oil 1/2 tablespoon Ketchup 2/3 tablespoon Sweet chili sauce 2/3 tablespoon Minced shallots 1/2 tablespoon Minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon Common spices a little (salt/ sugar/ ground pepper)
How to choose good chicken meat
- Good chicken has fresh-looking meat, no foul smell, and the skin should not have bruises or blood clots.
- Avoid choosing dark-colored chickens as they are likely to have died before processing.
- Press the chicken thigh with your hand to check; if the meat is firm, it’s good chicken.
- If pressing the meat feels mushy, slippery, deformed, or indented as if filled with water, it indicates that the chicken has been injected with water, sometimes mixed with borax; absolutely do not buy.

How to prepare Pepper Roast Chicken
-
Prepare the chicken
Rinse the chicken thighs briefly and make light cuts with a knife.
Place the chicken in a deep tray/bowl along with minced ginger, rock salt, and white wine. Rub the salt and ginger onto the surface of the chicken to eliminate any odor on both sides of the thighs.
Finally, rinse the chicken thoroughly and let it drain.
-
Make the seasoning sauce for the chicken
Crush black peppercorns in a mortar but do not grind them too finely.
Mix ketchup, chili sauce, fish sauce, sugar, minced onion and garlic, salt, ground pepper, and annatto oil in a small bowl, combining all the ingredients well.
Pour the pepper sauce over the cleaned and drained chicken, rub the sauce over the meat thoroughly to ensure it is coated on all sides, and marinate for about 30 minutes.

Roast chicken for the first time
Cut a piece of aluminum foil larger than the mouth of the air fryer basket, use your palm to gently press and shape the foil into a shallow tray that is lower than the mouth of the pot, folding the edges of the foil to secure it to the pot’s sides.
Place the marinated chicken evenly coated with the spice sauce into the pot, pouring the remaining marinade over the top. Sprinkle some crushed black pepper on the surface of the chicken.
Fold the edge of the aluminum foil at the pot’s side up, tucking it in to cover the chicken.
Put the tray into the air fryer, roasting for the first time for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the tray, keeping the chicken juice in the foil, and drain it into a bowl.
-
Roast chicken for the second time
Let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes after the first roasting, then place the chicken back into the frying basket, no longer wrapping it in foil.
Brush a layer of marinade over the surface of the chicken to prevent the meat from drying out during roasting.
Roast the chicken for the second time at 180 degrees Celsius for only 5 minutes.
And our dish is now complete! Serve the chicken on a plate and enjoy!
