I have found that anything that you buy in a frozen state (french fries, battered fish, etc.) tastes amazing when cooked in the air fryer. If you make things fresh, add a little oil to the bottom and you'll never know you didn't cook it in oil. I love mine. I use it all the time - not like those other appliances that you get talked into that sit in the garage!!

Seems from other posters that the french fry blade is a waste (very tiny fries), but the coarse slicing blade is excellent (some were annoyed that it wasn't standard). Another poster mentioned getting spare/backup blades from theessentials.com since this is a discontinued item. When I checked that site, I saw their blades are only $5-6, so will buy individual blades from them instead of the kit. I hope it ends up being as great as everyone says!

I have used beef tallow to fry french fries and it worked just fine. Just make sure the tallow is rendered.

When I 1st ordered I went through and ordered 3-4 of everything and was not disappointed. We haven't gotten anything that we thought "OH YUCK"...it has all been "OH YUMMY". I went to re-order the other day and I asked my husband what he didn't like and he said NOTHING everything is good. OK.... so then I asked his favorites: beef brisket, mozzarella sausages, hamburgers, teriyaki chicken, and steak fajitas. I personally like the different varieties of chicken and the meatballs. But no matter what you get it won't taste like microwaved food and you won't be disappointed!

Ive use it for breaded chicken strips, sweet potato fries and such. They came out great. These were pre-pacjkaged frozen items, though...if you are breading them yourself I have no idea, though a friend of mine uses hers for chicken and fish that has been coated in cracker crumbs.

We cooked chicken legs and a hold game hen ant came out GREAT. Please try it you will LOVE THE WAY THEY COME OUT.

Depends on how big? Plus you would have to take the thing that turns out or it would break you cod up in little pieces. I can put 15 - 20 wings in it or a half of bag of frozen fries if that helps.

Honestly I love love love this! Frozen fries come out spectacular!! I still have yet to try making my own and figure out how much oil to add. But for an extra crispiness, even a teaspoon or 2 goes a long way. All in all, it's the best thing you could have especially for the price! I have also made fried chicken with bread crumbs or tempura crumbs, and it's amazing I tell you!

Definitely, I always remove the basket to fry chicken parts, onion rings, hash brown patties and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful fryer, best I've had and believe me I've had all the FAMOUS CHEF Ones and they can't hold a candle to this one.

I cooked raw chicken thighs just today and they turned out GREAT. I saw a reviewer's photos of his chicken wings and decided to try, and it worked fine.

You could do that. You're heating up a lot of oil so if you were doing a big batch of wings it would make sense. We've used ours for frying turkeys and also we used it to make a boiled dinner for parties.

I just used whatever I could find in the house. I have used dog food, cat food, and chips and they all have worked great.

We do biscuits and gravy and love making the gravy or using leftover gravy (IF that ever happens) with shredded chicken and mushrooms and putting it over multi-grain toast for a comfort food supper (peas are great in that too)

I used mine with cheesecake and fruit filling. They are a bit sweet. I'm not sure they'd be the right taste for curried chicken salad.

Aely. In fact I am going to have dry rub chicken on the grill tomorrow. I did a marinated chicken a while ago. Both were just great. I try to make extra servings so I can use the left overs for another meal. or make the salads (such as chicken salad for sandwiches during the week). It is much less expensive than to buy cold cuts, much better flavor. and more healthy.Good luck. Jj
