Pretty much anything frozen is better in the air fryer. Wings are the best.
AnonymousAccusations t1_j5fdqrq wrote
For proper flavor you still have to add a fat though. But I agree, anything that's frozen and pre-cooked cooks so much faster in the air fryer than preheating and baking in your oven. It makes meals so much faster whether it's being used for an entree or or a side.
I got the Ninja Air Fryer that has the drawer that pops out but I believe those front loaders that have two shelves for baking sheets with racks in them would be a lot more useful.

The BEST thing for an air fryer is the sprayable avocado oil. Perfect for getting a light coating on the top before you cook

They have fill it yourself manual pump sprayers that work fantastic. That way you know what the oil is and it isn't using an aerosol.

This. Aerosols will screw with the nonstick coating of your air fryer. I tend to just baste mine in oil to eliminate any aerosol issue

Can confirm, front load much better. I have a basket air fryer. Been using my room mates front load style with shelves and I’ll be replacing my basket style once I move out.
AnonymousAccusations t1_j5fevy0 wrote
My wife and I will probably upgrade to the dual door dual shelf style also but it does take up a lot of real estate on your countertops so I see why the basket type would be very popular. Just make sure you get one that doesn't vent the heat downwards I hear they can melt your countertops. I saw some of the newer designs blow out of the side instead.

They're mini convection ovens. Lots of great use cases.
Krynja t1_j5fw1ir wrote
Actually they're not convection ovens. They're Impingement ovens. Convection oven move the heated air 'around' the oven. Impingement ovens blast heated air directly down at the food.
So they're not a scaled down convection oven. They're a scaled down version of the pizza ovens restaurants have.

This! I often find myself with leftovers from appetizers or sides that I don’t want to eat all the way since, you know, I’m full, and an air fryer is the best way to reheat them back to original condition. Maybe add a little water or pan spray to steam or crisp them back up, or don’t.

I was skeptical, too. Was gifted one, and now it’s my go-to. It’s the best for frozen stuff and leftovers. One of my favorite things to make is a hot sandwich - just assemble your sandwich, pop in the air fryer for a few minutes, and you’re good to go. You avoid having to heat up a skillet and skip on the butter/oil/extra calories.
If your budget allows, and you cook a decent bit (or rely on a microwave often), it’s 100% worth it.
AnonymousAccusations t1_j5fe0kh wrote
Just a heads up if you put a splash of water in the pan with a sandwich (or anything) and put a lid on it the steam will melt the sandwich and heat it up. That's what you do on a griddle at a restaurant.

I like to toast hoagie buns in mine. One of my favorites is to make shrimp in a skillet like shrimp scampi, take the shrimp out, and cook the sauce down more to thicken it while dicing up a bit of celery. Cut the shrimp if needed depending on how big they are, add the celery, bleu cheese dressing, old bay, bit of hot sauce, and the reduced sauce. Then cut a hoagie bun in half, scoop out some of the bread to make extra room, toast it in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp it, load it up with the shrimp mix and yum!

Ignore the people who say it is just a mini fan oven. These people have never used one even though superficially this seems true.
They're great for things like samosas, spring rolls, croissants, chicken strips, onion bhajis, fries etc.
The other thing I like is how you don't need to wait for them to heat up particularly.

You can put the soggiest, most pathetic looking leftover fries in there for 3 minutes and they’ll come out perfect and like they were just made.
AnonymousAccusations t1_j5feax3 wrote
They cook a lot quicker if you do the 3 minute warm-up like they recommend on recipes and the manual, but I'd rather do a 3 minute preheat than a 20 minute preheat on my oven that takes forever. In the time it takes to preheat my air fryer and cook the food I would just be putting it in my oven. It seriously cuts down cooking times on anything that's frozen.
b33flu t1_j5fhps3 wrote
Yeah the time savings is huge especially on weeknights. One of my favorite things to make is split chicken breasts. They still come out super juicy and with the crispy skin but in less than half the time it takes the oven to preheat and then cook.

I’m not an Air Fryer stan. I actually think it takes up too much space for the small portions that it cook. That being said, it makes the best wings. If you have spare kitchen space and money, it may be worth it. Just remember, portions are small. I can do about 10 big wings at once. About 25minute cook time. So if you’re cooking for a lot of people, it’s not worth it.

wbruce098 t1_j5ib97e wrote
I got one of the toaster oven combo versions (Gourmia, about $100 at target). Absolutely the best appliance I’ve ever bought. I almost never use my oven anymore, and my kids can make lots of food more easily, and it’s healthier than frying. (My son almost exclusively uses the air fryer when cooking) Super versatile, too! It can proof bread, dehydrate for like jerky or fruit, and bc it’s a convection oven, it cooks faster and more evenly than a traditional oven. Oh and it also makes toast, go figure.
It’s bigger than a regular air fryer, so it takes up more space. But using the “basket” tray, you don’t have to stop and flip your foods unlike a regular air fryer.
It’s best for frozen foods, (smaller) pizzas, toast, and anything you’d normally bake that will fit in it. When I’m making big meals, it easily acts as a second oven: roast the chicken in the real oven while roasting veggies, potatoes, etc in this bad boi.

Air fryers are pretty much more expensive versions of countertop convection ovens (oven temps + fans to circulate air). I'd definitely get a convection oven since it's half the price for the same cooking capacity

I have both and I disagree. The air fryer gets food crispier faster at the same setting.

Also have both and it’s just not the same. The fan is much more powerful on an air fryer which circulates more air and results in crispier and faster cooking.
StromboliOctopus t1_j5focho wrote
While they work on the same principles, the dedicated air fryer does it much more successfully, and therefore should be it's own device if at all possible. I have a cheap air fryer and an expensive convection toaster oven. The convection setting on the toaster oven is serviceable, but the air fryer is leagues better. If you didn't know, now you know. Just the way it is.

It's a mini convection toaster oven which is a mini oven. Takes up a lot of space without much of a payoff imo.
TheSmJ t1_j5g8jsk wrote
I have a convection toaster oven and an air fryer. They're not even remotely comparable.
The air speed in the convection oven is a gentle breeze. The air fryer is a hurricane.
The time it takes to bake something in the convection oven is a tad faster than the time it takes in our standard oven (ignoring pre-heat times because the standard oven is much larger). The air fryer takes half the amount of time than the convection oven, while also giving the food a very even "crispyness" that you can't get from either of the ovens.

That's fairly easy -- I suppose you could just substitute 5 teaspoons of Frank's dry Buffalo Seasoning blend instead of the dry spices. It has corn starch in it so it makes the skin very crispy -- like if you were making karaage chicken.
Day_Bow_Bow t1_j5fxjtx wrote
I haven't tried the buffalo version, but their regular seasoning powder works well. I have some Nashville Hot Chicken powder that I tend to add too, as it has more kick.
Wings are great, but I'm more likely to do the same with chicken thighs. Pat them dry, pull the skin back and can season the meat directly, wrap the skin back around for protection, and air fry. I love wings, but thighs have more meat and are less expensive. The skin comes out nice and crispy as well.

No_Dance1739 t1_j5g5ji3 wrote
You said corn starch helps get the skin crispy? I’ll have to try that. I’ve got my seasonings down, but getting all the way crisp is sometimes a challenge.
Does corn starch also help with browning your meat or veg, giving it a more crispy char?
antibendystraw t1_j5gh6bk wrote
Can’t comment on the char specifically but it should. I’ve added it to cut up pork and beef for stir fry with good results. The biggest factor for that imo is getting a high enough temp and working fast. But dusting the meat/skin with corn starch after patting drying does so much for chicken crisp. It’s the key ingredient to Korean fried chicken if you’ve ever had it.
No_Dance1739 t1_j5gzvvq wrote
I’ve mostly done Korean bbq, I try to stay away from fried foods. And I have heard a lot of recipes and social media posts say to use corn starch. If they ever said why, I missed it.
I’ve been making my own oven baked buffalo style wings, with good results baking completely then broiling to crisp up the skin. I eventually got an air-fryer to aid in the process, but both yield almost identical results. Double broiling or double air-frying helps get it crispier. So I think corn starch is what’s been missing to get that extra crisp and not have to cook it as long.
antibendystraw t1_j5h0rrj wrote
I used to have an air fryer and don’t anymore. I do my chicken in the oven, these days I skip the corn starch just out of laziness. I just coat the chicken in olive oil, season and cook basically like you say. Always simple and good for quick meals.
No_Dance1739 t1_j5h3pif wrote
Yeah, it’s been real good, I’ve just about perfected my lemon pepper blend and if adding some corn starch takes it over the top then I’ve got to at least try it.
antibendystraw t1_j5h4b6k wrote
Curious about your lemon pepper blend! I often squeeze a lemon and do salt and black pepper trying to go for that taste. But do you dry out lemon zest or do something special? It never feels like I get that zing that I’m after
No_Dance1739 t1_j5h4y0k wrote
I start with Kinder’s lemon pepper, I believe they use lemon zest and oil. I add granulated garlic, ground ginger, dash of turmeric, dash of old bay, sometimes cumin, sea salt, and some fresh cracked pepper. I add enough of the other spices to not take over but to give it some depth of flavor. I can’t stand stuff that tastes flat.
notdrewcarrey t1_j5gy56k wrote
Flour can also work. If you don't want to deep fry, you can do corn starch or flour and then bake or air fry. You can also combine them of course too. Helps get them crispy.
No_Dance1739 t1_j5h1rur wrote
Thanks for the tip. I’m supposed to avoid gluten, so whenever I can I try to omit wheat. I have heard before that the secret to fried chicken is adding corn starch to the flour, so I’ll start there, if it’s still not crispy enough I’ll try adding flour, and perhaps I can find a GF kind that works well.
SheldonvilleRoasters t1_j5h37w6 wrote
It doesn't do much for browning unless you fry it in fat. You would season your meat and then coat it with either corn or potato starch and then let it sit until you don't see any white powder. Then you can fry (or air fry) and then the starch will for a very crispy crust.
Chinese restaurants use this techniques when they make that cubed twice cooked pork.
Here is a recipe for karaage if you want to see the technique. It's also called Hawaiian fried chicken as well.

If you used the baking powder method it's possible you got too much baking powder on there or maybe used baking soda. That will give you crips wings but it will funk up the flavor.

I always use baking powder when air frying my wings. Regardless that OP got a nice and crispy skin on theirs, baking powder brings it to a whole new level. I've done it all kinds of ways and it just doesn't compare, so it's now my standard approach.
simmonsatl t1_j5flyg2 wrote
do you use oil and baking powder? or just baking powder and spray with oil?
ChurchOfJamesCameron t1_j5fqltx wrote
I don't use oil on the chicken. The method that I like is to completely dry the outside of the chicken, then I toss them in my dry seasonings. What I do is add a 1:3 ratio of baking powder with the dry seasonings, since /u/breddy is correct that baking powder can leave the chicken tasting differently. I haven't tried going down to a 1:4 ratio in case it still yields great results, but that's because I stopped having a direct taste or aftertaste of the baking powder at this ratio.
The first recipe I saw this technique on was this one. It explains the concept decently. I feel their 1:1 ratio with the salt is excessive, but definitely feel free to try out whatever might work for you.

Mix and toss wings in 1:2 ratio of butter to Texas Pete (or preferred). (I used 2 tbl spoons of butter and 4 tbl spoons of hot sauce)
Then I lay when sauced wings on aluminum foil in a cookie sheet and dump the remaining sauce on the laid out wings. Broiler (oven) on high and broil wings for only 1-2 min until desired crispiness is achieved (due to the ease of burning them I check every 15 seconds)

Don't even get me started, I guarantee I have the best air fryer/oven wings you've ever had
Spread frozen wings on dripable tray
12 to 15 min on convection bake @425
Should be thawed but not cooked, and a bit wet
Toss in a bowl with baking powder (enough to cover the top layer) and your seasoning. I use steak seasoning, cilantro, dill, and sometimes old bay
Cook for 20 minutes on convection bake @425
They're usually cooked before that 25 mark but that extra time gets them super crispy
Pull and toss in your bowl with Frank's/red devil. Not too much, just to evenly coat. This cools them down too, so they're ready to eat sooner.
Serve with carrots and Celery and blue cheese and ranch.

Pat absolutely dry.
Lightly sprinkle with season salt
Air fry in a single layer on 360 for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Back in the air fryer for 6-8 minutes at 400, also flipping or tossing halfway through.
They should be visibly crispy and even sound crispy when rolling around in there.
Melt Knob of butter with Frank’s red hot and dip them in and straight to the plate to serve.

These look great, my only complaint on air fryers is capacity, doing (1) serving at a time just doesn't cut it.
elcelt OP t1_j5fj4pv wrote
Thanks! Yeah we made two batches and added the first batch to the second for the last two minutes of cooking.
bootsk8ter t1_j5fl3kz wrote
That's a good idea

Nice bit of browning on that. Whenever I make chicken in the air fryer, it seems to dry out before it browns.

I have to say, I’m really impressed how crispy and tenders come out in the air fryer

Man we use a much simpler way to make air fryer wings than most of you. 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Flip 15 more minutes and then flip 1 more time for 5. Take out and toss in sauce.
Always come out crispy and juicy.

Air fryer wings are the f'ing best. No oil needed.

Oh man. Thank you for sharing these. Just made them to watch the game and WOW. I had no idea it would be so easy to make wings in the air fryer. No more take out wings for us!
elcelt OP t1_j5gxc5n wrote
I’m so glad this recipe worked for you, too. My wife and I said the same thing about no more take out wings!

Air fryers make the BEST wings! I toss mine in oil then a combination of baking powder and corn starch and they’re SO CRISPY!
ETA; I have 3 air fryers. 😂 I have a ninja dual XL, and a ninja tendercrisp cooker. Some people think I’m excessive but I love the fact I can pressure cook and then air fry with the tendercrisp and the dual allows me to do 2 different things at different temps & settings but finish at the same time. Or I can use both baskets at the same time, & same temp.

I just got an oven with a built-in air fryer. Does anyone else have one like this? I’m concerned I won’t get the same results as the stand-alone types.

Air fryer is basically just a convection oven. You have a convection oven. Works basically just as good.
ColdStainlessNail t1_j5fh9tk wrote
The oven has both convection and air fryer settings. I tried the air fryer on sweet potato fries last night. They remained soggy, though.

There's no doubt in my mind an air fryer wouldn't leave you hanging like that with fries. They come out crisp as hell every time with the air fryer. Just comes down to whether you'll get use out of that specific type of use.
Salted_Caramel_Core t1_j5lt2xa wrote
That's because "air fryer" is a buzz word and a hot selling point. I would bet anything that the convection and air dryer settings are exactly the same.

I fucking love my air fryer. Hot pockets come at with out the lava hot inside and Arctic outside.
joe1134206 t1_j5hgggb wrote
Truly remarkable especially since they've taken so much of the filling out of hot pockets over the years

Were these really done with an air fryer? I think I need to get on this bandwagon..

These have been our weekend treat since we bought our first air fryer 4/5 weeks ago. Feel like I found the perfect wing recipe and technique.
