    2. Build the Flavour Base
    Place the butter, onion, carrots and red pepper into a large oven-safe dish that fits your air fryer.

    6. Crisp the Crackling
    Remove the foil.
    Brush the eisbeins with another thin layer of BlixSam Yanky BBQ Sauce.
    Increase the temperature to 200°C.
    Cook for 15–20 minutes, turning once, until the crackling is beautifully crisp and the glaze is sticky and caramelised.

    7. Serve

    Serve the eisbein over the potatoes and vegetables, spooning the rich Yanky pan juices over everything.
