IUFLA Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) About a year ago, my wife and I bought an air fryer that was on sale at Costco ($39 regular $59 if I remember right). It sat in our pantry unopened for a year. About a month ago, my wife wanted to make fried fish and wanted to use the air fryer "because it was more healthy" than putting them in our deep fryer. The fish came out GREAT. Crispy and of course not oily at all. Since then, we've used it for a lot of stuff, but my favorite is Buffalo wings. I use this recipe to the tee. It makes awesome wings. I do brine them for a couple of hours before I cook them, but they're tender, juicy, and crispy...just like I like em...my wife has never been a big wing fan, but she wanted me to make some last night...pic from last night Edited October 12, 2020 by IUFLA 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 When looking for new ovens, the sales guy said that we can get a basket and put it in the oven to air fry since it is a convection oven. Looking forward to trying that out - as well as your buffalo wing recipe! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have only used it a few times for fries/tater tots thus far. You might have inspired me to greater ventures with the looks of those wings though...they look great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I made some pretty excellent Cheeseburger eggrolls in the air fryer. I know I did well when I get the wifes approval on cooking. They were better than the restaurant that I copied the idea from 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 4 minutes ago, IUFLA said: Share the recipe? Of course. I think you can do it with whatever you would like on your cheeseburger, for me this is what I did. 2 pounds ground beef 1 pound bacon, 1 diced onion 4 oz diced dill pickle 2 cups cheddar cheese 1 cup American 2 tsp mustard salt, pepper , some whites seasoning powder, some onion powder, garlic sauce and Worchestershire Sauce Cook the hamburger drain , cook bacon, then add all the ingredients but the cheese. Cook another 10 minutes. Add the cheeses and stir. Add the mixture into the eggroll sheet roll it up and put in air fryer for 8 to 10 min. Makes around 15 egg rolls. Sauce: I do a homemade Campfire sauce from Red Robin. 1 cup Mayo, 1 cup Brown sugar Honey BBQ 1 teaspoon Chipotle powder 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierFaithful Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Getting an Air Fryer changed my life. Wow. I now always have potatoes on deck because I learned I love french fries more than anyone should reasonably love french fries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 So the little boy that runs my house loves the frozen Red Baron 6” pizzas from Sams Club. 400 for 9 minutes and he’s golden. So bad for you but so dang quick n easy. That’s why I fix one for him and two for me. Chicken fries are his second favorite in the air fryer. 400 for 13 minutes and you have a happy kid. Give me some ranch and sponge bob and I’m happy as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billingsley99 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I decided to make the cheeseburger egg rolls again this time in good old fashioned oil in a wok. The looked better in air fryer but this way did taste better. Pic.of the ones in oil. Not as pretty 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Since I just ordered an Air Fryer on Prime Day, Billingsley brings up a great point!

The wing sauce on the batch in my picture is a cup of Trappey's Red Devil and 4 tbl of unsalted butter...I like em slathered in sauce...

Thanks for the tip! True story, worked with a young engineer from India. He was going back home and asked if I would like something from India? I said a cookbook! He obliged! A while later there was a house party for everyone to meet his Arraigned Fiancée! I made Samosas from scratch off the book using Ghee of course for the party! Seems both him and his fiancée were impressed that they experienced home cooking in America! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip! Indian food is great! There isnt anywhere close I can get it but I can get the ingredients. Have a can of red curry paste in the pantry waiting for a cold day off. Make a curry dish a few times a year. More of a fall winter food for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) If you want to get the fried crunch I have had pretty good luck dipping chicken strips, wings, thighs and fish in an egg wash and dredging in almond flour then air fry. Breasts are too big and get soggy. Almond flour is healthier obviously, but a traditional batter turns to mush. Almond flour is mealy and fries up nice with an egg bath. Panko bread crumbs work good too. I let whatever protein I'm trying dry for a minimum of 30 minutes before the egg wash. But that's just my style.
