Ingredients
1 Chef Ramsay Lemon Caper Chicken Meal (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
Optional Add-Ons & Extras:
Extra lemon wedges for a fresh citrus boost
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Cracked black pepper or red pepper flakes for added spice
A drizzle of garlic butter or white wine sauce for richness
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 tender.
Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal
Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the food inside its tray.
Separate the chicken from the sides to ensure even cooking. Place the chicken directly in the air fryer basket.
Cover the sides with foil to prevent them from overcooking or drying out.
Step 3: Air Fry the Lemon Caper Chicken & Sides
Chicken Only: Cook at 375°F for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even heating.
Sides: After 6 minutes of cooking, place the sides in the air fryer on a small air fryer-safe dish and continue cooking for another 6-8 minutes until fully heated.
Sauce Option: If the meal comes with a sauce packet, warm it by placing it in warm water while the meal cooks.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Carefully remove the chicken and sides from the air fryer and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Pour the warm lemon-caper sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley, extra lemon juice, or a pinch of black pepper.
How to Serve This Lemon Caper Chicken
Classic Gourmet Plate: Serve with steamed asparagus or roasted potatoes.
Savory Boost: Drizzle with garlic butter or white wine sauce.
Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes or chili oil.
Pro Tips for Best Results
