  • 450 g Pigeon
  • 150 ml thin soy sauce
  • 50 ml thick soy sauce
  • 15 ml Cooking wine
  • 20 g Crystal sugar
  • 270 ml water
  • ginger 4-5 pieces

Instructions

  • Wash pigeons to remove internal organs
    Put cold water into the pot and blanch it
  • Prepare the sauce while waiting
    This sauce is for two doses
    Juice can be reused
  • After boiling the water, blanch it
    Try to use silicone clips as much as possible to prevent pigeons from being easily broken
    Take out the pigeon and cut off its claws
  • Stir fry fragrant ginger slices in a little oil over medium heat
    Pour in the sauce and stir until the sugar melts
  • Find a deeper and wider basin to put the pigeon in
    Pour the sauce into a basin while it's hot and seal it with cling film
    Marinate for 1.5-2 hours and flip twice midway
  • After pickling, take out the pigeon and place it on the air fryer grill
    Brush a thin layer of white vinegar to activate the lowest temperature
    Dry at approximately 50 ℃/100 ℉ for about 30 minutes
    After drying, you will feel the skin dry
  • Pigeon back up
    Adjust the temperature to 150 ℃/300 ℉ and bake for 15 minutes
    Bake at 200 ℃/400 ℉ for 5 minutes again
    Keep the temperature constant, flip over and bake for 3 minutes
  • Super Fragrant

Notes
