My wife bought a Ninja and it has been great. Dehydrated some venison jerky today.

We got an Instapot for Christmas that also air frys. Wings are really good in it. Agree, mix baking powder with your dry rub for extra crispy.
My only complaint is I can only cook about 12 at a time in mine. |

Looks great, I would eat a pile of those. I've been using Kickin' Chicken for years on grilled chicken but never thought to try it on wings. Might have to after seeing this. I do like the Frank's premade Buffalo sauce in a bottle though. |

I just got a toaster oven that will do baking, broiling, and air frying. I used it to cook a reverse-sear ribeye earlier (finished in a cast-iron skillet with bacon grease). I heated up a pastry this morning and it was nice and crispy (like it's supposed to be).
Can't wait to try it as an air fryer! I'll be looking around this week for some good chicken recipes and other air fryer recipes. Hopefully it works out well. This one costs about $150. Attached File |

I find it amusing that the only knock on air fryers is the size.
No one actually has a problem with convection. Only with the size, placement, cost, how many you have, and which one you use. |

Quoted: I find it amusing that the only knock on air fryers is the size. No one actually has a problem with convection. Only with the size, placement, cost, how many you have, and which one you use. View Quote I like the little size. From time to time I use my ENTIRE oven just to bake a potato when I could fit like 40 potatoes in there if not more. A little toaster oven will work great for that, also for reheating my own meals. I live alone and don't cook HUGE meals every time. I may toss my toaster because I won't need it. At most I toast an English Muffin in the morning. I can also reheat a couple of slices of pizza and not have to fire up the whole oven. I've seen (posted right here on ARFCOM) a microwave oven that does convection, broiling, and air frying all-in-one. Eventually, I'd like to get something like that to replace the microwave over my range. Or not, I may decide that having redundant devices isn't desirable, like the aforementioned toaster. |

Get at least a 48" five-star/Wolf and we'll talk. Your little samsung cutie has a circulation fan that simply circulates hot air to help eliminate hotspots. "convection" An airfryer has a fan directly above a heating element, and that fan blows direct hot air on the "fryers" contents. Big difference between the two- but I wouldn't expect someone with a home depot range to understand. commercial airfyers have been around for at least 15 years- yet recently have finally been made into a residential appliance. OP - wings look great. Find some Provel cheese and make a roux- pour over some baked/steamed brocolli. While its cooking- slice brocolli stems (normally trashed) thin and toss in garlic salt/pepper....AIRFRY until crispy tastes like broccoli/garlic potato chips. |

I watched an infomercial earlier today about these with Emeril Legasse as the host.
Dude might have as well whipped it out and popped one off onto the chicken wings, he was so excited. Been cooking professionally and socially for 30+ years, never used or needed one. An answer to a question nobody asked. Enjoy the Chyna crap. |

Nothing wrong with using an air fryer to cook food in. It does the same thing as an oven, but in smaller quantities, and with faster cooking times. I like to use mine for those little frozen appetizers you can get at the grocery store. Taquitos, and chicken tenders, and such. It cooks them through, gets them crispy, and they're ready much, much faster than if I tried to heat up the big oven. I've done chicken (drumsticks and wings), if you bread some shrimp they come out really nice.
Having said all that, it IS just a mini little convection oven. |

Quoted: Just wait until all these air fryer fanboys discover deep fryers. You all think wings, eggrolls, fried cheese, fries, poppers bacon, etc. in the air fryer are good? Get a REAL fryer. Wing batches take about 12 minutes to cook after it comes up to temp... just long enough to be saucing your second batch of wings after the first is eaten. In my experience, a single oil fryer can keep up with 2-3 guys hanging out drinking beers and leisurely eating wings until they're full. People complain about the cost of oil but really the cost of hot/BBQ/garlic/teriyaki sauces dwarf the cost oil. I'm actually a fan of just dusting the wings with Old Bay. https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/3db94b8b-263a-4620-8e92-a0ab7ae9fc6f_1.f6be6d432600d4917a1935d22ceb827b.jpeg View Quote lol I have this exact fryer on my counter....

And if the Flames dont scare ya, the boiling hot oil that boils over and de laminates your counter tops, and peels the stickie tiles off yer kitchen floor sure does impress the in laws on wing night, shit I gotta go, my trailer just rolled down a hill again, think we got a flat... ok, so I made up the trailer part, it seemed fitting, but the rest is 100% true, all have happened.. I do love that fryer, any time I think... "I should try meth" I just fry some wings.. same rush, same scars on my face, but no legal issues..
