They cook a lot quicker if you do the 3 minute warm-up like they recommend on recipes and the manual, but I'd rather do a 3 minute preheat than a 20 minute preheat on my oven that takes forever. In the time it takes to preheat my air fryer and cook the food I would just be putting it in my oven. It seriously cuts down cooking times on anything that's frozen.

Just a heads up if you put a splash of water in the pan with a sandwich (or anything) and put a lid on it the steam will melt the sandwich and heat it up. That's what you do on a griddle at a restaurant.

For proper flavor you still have to add a fat though. But I agree, anything that's frozen and pre-cooked cooks so much faster in the air fryer than preheating and baking in your oven. It makes meals so much faster whether it's being used for an entree or or a side.

I got the Ninja Air Fryer that has the drawer that pops out but I believe those front loaders that have two shelves for baking sheets with racks in them would be a lot more useful.

I have a very simple recipe I use that makes very great wings in my air fryer.

Patted dry wings 360° for 12 min Flip 360° for 12 min Remove from air fryer

Mix and toss wings in 1:2 ratio of butter to Texas Pete (or preferred). (I used 2 tbl spoons of butter and 4 tbl spoons of hot sauce)

Then I lay when sauced wings on aluminum foil in a cookie sheet and dump the remaining sauce on the laid out wings. Broiler (oven) on high and broil wings for only 1-2 min until desired crispiness is achieved (due to the ease of burning them I check every 15 seconds)

Damn these look good.

usual 30-40 min. Something I have in the freezer (like Chebureki). It just needs to be fried

We’ll, now I’m off to the store to get what I need to make this. You got me!

An airfryer will change your life.

I never thought much about having an airfryer until my MIL gifted us one for christmas a few years ago. Since then, its a regular staple in my cooking.

You can put the soggiest, most pathetic looking leftover fries in there for 3 minutes and they’ll come out perfect and like they were just made.

No reason to downvote. Glad yours worked out. I couldn't get mine crisp in the air fryer, just sharing knowledge.

Enjoy the wings!

edit: I realized the response was to OP who wasn't the comment .. sorry for the confusion

If you have the time, put a little salt and baking soda on the wings, spread them on a rack and put on a flat pan in the fridge overnight to dry out. The next day follow the standard recipe and air fry em. The skin comes out super crispy.

I use the Kenji method that involves baking powder and overnight rest in the fridge and I get amazing results. I would put them really close to on par with deep fat fried wings. If I didn't know they weren't fried I probably would not question it.

I used neither. They’re not necessary

Yum. Alot of gravy with biscuit gatekeepers on here don't listen

If you used the baking powder method it's possible you got too much baking powder on there or maybe used baking soda. That will give you crips wings but it will funk up the flavor.

They're mini convection ovens. Lots of great use cases.

The gravy part is pretty easy, DM me if you want recipe/steps! 😀

Nice. I'd tried air fryer wings before but they turned out really funky. This looks simple enough for me.

That’s how you do it! Haven’t been able to find any of that in the KC area.

white gravy is called "something else"

That looks amazing!! But would take me 8 hours to make...

It's typically white gravy for breakfast dishes. I was just wondering.
