So did my first cook on the air fryer. We did fresh cut french fries for the maiden voyage. I used like a few drops of canola/olive oil mix. The fries came out wonderful. I only had 3 giant potatoes and the family ripped right through them. It was a hit. It reminded me of potatoes done in our convection oven but also fried. It tasted better than frying though and better than in the convection oven. It really exceeded my expectations. Avoided air fryers for a while because I thought they were a gimmick. Can't wait to try some more things. The coconut shrimp sounds great.

Made southern fried chicken with this thing. Came out great. Batting 2 for 2 with it and it is paying off. Family is loving the fried food without all the oil and 80% less clean up.

It was good. When I do it again I will let the oil soak into the batter longer and flip the chicken at mid time. This recipe calls for spraying the batter with oil before putting it in but never mentioned flipping it. But since it is not sitting in oil gravity finds is way and pulls it from the top. So the top comes out more like a cookie crunch and the bottom like traditional fried chicken. I think flipping it will work out well. Although my wife liked it not being oily like fried chicken from the store or made in the deep fryer. Only caveat was 20 minutes to do 5 pieces. I battered like 18 pieces lol.

Next up is the coconut shrimp and bang bang shrimp and then empanadas for taco Tuesday next week. Emeril has a nice empanada recipe in the book that came with this fryer. Gonna give it a go.

Not sure if it is good or not. But this $169 air firyer is going for 45 bucks.
