Air Fryer Chin chin is a healthy twist to a very popular African snack. This crunchy treat is popular around the holidays especially Christmas. Traditionally Chin chin is deep fried. However in the quest for a healthier way of eating, we are making it in the air fryer.
Add the melted butter, milk and beaten egg into dry mixture
Mix to form a dough
Let dough rest for about 5 minutes
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough with a rolling pin, cut into strips first horizontally then vertically with a knife or pizza wheel.

Repeat for the other batches

For vegan chin chin, Use plant based milk, swap the butter for margarine and the egg for ¼ cup of water or plant based milk. See blog post above for more variations of this recipe.
Don’t have an air fryer yet? You can make this in the oven or deep fry. See blog post for details.
The amount of flour in this recipe should be enough to prevent the dough from being sticky. If you find it sticky add more flour a little at a time.
