Air fried chicken, has potential for sure.

I don't even pretend to be an experienced cook, but when the Mrs. brought home a Foodi Ninja pressure cook/ air fryer, I had to give the air frying a go. I did some pork chops last week, they were delicious, but not crispy. I put a little water in the bottom thinking that would keep them from drying out. I think it also kept them from truly crisping up.
Did chicken thighs tonight, buttermilk and Franks hot sauce wash, dipped in flour.
Cooked about 20 mins on the air fry setting, . Nice crispy breading, and drippings to make gravy!! Not as burned as the picture makes it look.
I think the key is after placing them in the cooker, a light spray of cooking oil. Cooked them 10 minutes, and then another light spray of oil, before cooking 10 more minutes. Lots of recipes on line.

My opinon?

The Air Fryer is the consumer "must have" that people will buy and rave to all their friends about..
Then stick in the cabinet.

It just doesn't do a very good job.

Brother has one and they use it a lot, especially for rewarming left overs that the microwave would normally make soggy. They love it.

I know people who're enthusiastic, certainly initially. Interested to see if it lasts.

They sure do well and cut the time for "Baked Potatoes".

They say there's a time savings on a lot of things, it cooks much faster than baking or frying in oil, I see some truth to that.
Delicious low fat fried food is the real deal for us.

Been thinking of buying one myself but would rather the girlfriend buy one, LOL!

I don't fry much of anything anymore but I do once in a blue moon cook wings or catfish and I'm interested to see if these can do it as well as an oil & fryer combo. Since the 'beetus diagnosis last July I've been able to lose 60 lbs and keep it off. Air frying may let me have a treat now and then without guilt.

Wife bought one. I use it more than she does,quick and not like microwave .
french fries,breaded shrimp,onion rings even grilled ham and cheese. All much better to me than microwave and without grease. Stuffed hamburgers are pretty
tasty too.

It can do some amazing things. Cleans up easy. It’s like a small convection oven on steroids.
