The secret is to take the basket out when you cook chicken. Put the spices or breading on the pieces while the air fryer is heating up. When you put the chicken in, put some pieces of butter on top of them. It will melt on the chicken and coat it. Flip them for 5 minutes at the end.
And? I’ll be honest. Want to reheat a thing, especially fast food, this is amazeballs. Want to cook something so it’s crispy on the outside and hot, in 5-10 minutes? This. From the freezer? 15 minutes. Laughed at ‘em then got one as a present. Love it.
Less insulation yes, but crucially less volume to heat as well. Overall power consumption is typically less than that of a large oven because of the smaller size.
That’s just a forced air convection oven with less insulation though, right?
And a smaller volume capacity. I finally grabbed an air fryer and we use it most days. I didn’t expect to like or use it so much.
It’s great when you need 4 fries.
It’s not an easy bake oven. Try one out. It also does vegetables and chicken, if you’re not just into eating brown.
Ours is medium sized and is great for dinner-for-2.
Ours is a large single basket with a rack and the capacity is just not there. It might be enough for one but I am feeding four.

You can fit 6 or eight chicken thighs in there.

Thanks, seems useful
It has a better shape and size that allows for the air to flow more efficiently. It really does make things crispier than a normal convection oven.
Okay I didn’t know that. Also you can add oil that will be spread evenly or something, right?
Not sure what you mean by that, I just use spray oil on the surface to make it crispy.
I think some air fryers can automatically spray or drip some oil while “frying”
