I considered this home cooker for a long time before buying
yet another small appliance that would
just take up space and collect dust.
Now I wish I hadn’t waited so long
as it turned out to be a great purchase!
It probably resembles a convection oven, more than a deep fryer. It cooks quickly, it’s easy to use and clean-up is a breeze.

| Mmmm, mmm! Crispy and delicious! |
The best part was the delicious taste of the chicken it roasted, with its even, crispy crust on the outside, and its moist and tender meat on the inside. The heap of seasonings ~ rosemary and thyme, garlic and onion powders, was simple and perfect for flavoring up the chicken.
Most of us like chicken and it goes well with about anything on the side, the price is right and it smells mouth-watering as it cooks.
We were very impressed with the end result of the chicken, and I know this small appliance is a keeper, as is the recipe!
It was a delectable chicken and I’m really looking forward to a chicken sandwich with a dab of mayo for lunch today!

I was looking at this machine. Very cool that you're enjoying it. I look forward to hearing more about your adventures with it. Question: How does it smell inside the machine? Is there a plastic or die-off smell? We had that with our waffle makers so I'm curious about this machine.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of baking potato wedges without oil.
Hey, Ivy! It's great and there's no smell of plastic or anything from it. It makes a little noise but not as much as an exhaust fan over the stove. I really like it, it's easy to use and clean up is really easy and no splatter like in the oven or stove top. I'm making cod in it for dinner tonight. And potatoes are great in it!
DeleteThis is great to know. Thanks. We haven't decided yet which way we're going when we move things about in the kitchen yet, but I was looking at this same machine. Looks like a lot of good room inside, too.
DeleteThanks for your time, Pam.
That looks really crisp! Definitely worth having one in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIt was Angie! I've bought more than my share of small appliances and this one does exactly what it says. Have a good day!
DeleteHi Pam, I'm reluctent to add new gadgets to our kitchen as well, but this one looks like a keeper and the chicken looks perfectly cooked.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cheri! So many gadgets and so little space. :-) Have a good week!
DeleteDear Pam, This looks delicious!! I like the cornbread too. It is nice that you say it is easy to clean this as well. Sometimes gadgets are so difficult to clean and put together that you just store them away forever.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sandwich today. xoxo Catherine
Thanks, Catherine! I did, great sandwich! I know what you mean with the cleaning, some are a nightmare! Thanks for the visit! Hugs
DeleteIt's great when you have a win with an appliance, and this chicken looks amazing!

DeleteLike you, I have to give thought to buying yet another home cooking appliance that potentially will end up in my cabinet somewhere. So glad this one air fryer worked out for you. The roasted chicken looks really good.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Grace! You never know till you try it. :-)
DeleteI've been eyeing one of these machines, too. Like you, I have a space problem. And too many other gadgets! Sounds like this is a winner, though. That chicken sure looks good! Good post -- thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John! I swore I was not going to buy another gadget. :-)
DeleteWow, the chicken looks amazing. I am going to have to get a power air fryer.
ReplyDeleteGreat, Geraldine! It's definitely easy to use.
DeleteLooks so moist!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I re-read your title cause at first I was reading "air dryer"
instead of "air fryer." : )
M : )
Hi Melinda! One letter makes a big difference! :-)
DeleteI haven't seen the one that you can fit a whole chicken into! I've only seen the small 'french fry' size machines. What a great recommendation, Pam!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Susan! Take care
DeleteSounds interesting but I have too many appliances now! Love the recipe though it sounds great. Hope all is well Diane
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Diane! All is good here and I hope all is well your way also.
DeleteI'm so intrigued by the air fryer! This chicken looks like it turned out great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy! It was delicious chicken. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI've never seen that one, Pam. Your chicken turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barbara! I really like it so far!
DeleteThe onion rings in there were pretty tasty too!
ReplyDeleteHi, Bubba! Yes they were! It will be fun trying new things in it.
DeleteLooks like the air fryer doing a great job for all the momsie. haha....
ReplyDeleteWow, the chicken looks amazing. I want to make this. I use Electric/radiant heat: No need for propane with an electric fryer! All you have to do is plug it in and the radiant heat penetrates the inner wall to cook the turkey. Although they do just plug into the wall, it’s still recommended that that most electric fryers be used outdoors. For more click here https://turkeyfryerwizard.com/best-oil-less-turkey-fryer-reviews/
