Now im curious, with spray oil applied to the airfryer ones, does it make a difference?

[@esadonelson]

Just because its an air fryer doesnt mean use zero oil. They still need a spritz of olive or an oil of your choice.

[@JustSomeDude31]

@@esadonelson you don't need oil in an airfryer. I often make airfried food, including chicken with panko without the oilspray or oil added in any kind. It's just not needed. To make it more flavourful perhaps, I'm gonna try that out tonight.

[@wendyeskelin8765]

The worst thing about the oil is that you have to use so much to submerge stuff and then you can only use it a couple times before throwing it out. And if you use good oil it's going to add up in price real fast.

[@Wilburbruh]

Deep fried is always best but those air fryers are a lot more impressive than I ever expected.

[@genericpersonx333]

The difference is going to be the oil, as it adds flavor, but I must agree there is nothing wrong with the air-fry as it has its own flavor. Matter of taste, not quality, and taste is personal, which is what cooking has always been about.

[@justingarcia7722]

I actually think in some applications the air fryer is preferable (and not in just a looking for a healthy alternative way) but for example in the crunch wrap episode when he did tempura shrimp I think that the air fryer was actually the smarter tool to use. Shrimp, especially tempura shrimp, can get really greasy easily, and with fried shrimp you’re often going for light and crispy. Chicken is so bland that without a little fat it really can be flavorless

[@saucyx4]

@@justingarcia7722 spray it lightly with oil than air fry

[@MRobertLurerM]

I did one adjustment to Airfryer, our Philip's said to spray with oil like the Kirkland cooking spray you use... I bow to the! I have learned so much from you... this was just something if people want to use the Airfryer: )

[@braden9893]

something i've done to help my air fryer get maximum flavor is to get a spray bottle of oil, and lightly spray just a little bit on what i'm cooking. It really helps finish it off.

might as well deep fry if you're adding oil

[@ajsassy788]

Sizzel TV Not true! The light spray on the meat just helps it to not be dry tasting or look plus it's MUCH healthier! I still occasionally df but air frying is the way if you know what you're doing. We are talking a pool of hot grease vs a light spritz🙄.

[@Null_Experis]

The problem with air fryers is that they don't force moisture out of the item like a deep fryer does. You need to lightly spray anything you put in with oil, or add a little oil to the recipe to get similar results. Next time you make your breading, throw a tablespoon or two of oil or lard into the breading and mix it in well. You'll get MUCH better results and still be using only a small fraction of the oil that deep frying uses.

[@rwj1313]

One thing that will help with the air fryer, spray the pieces with Canola Oil or Olive Oil before placing them in the air fryer. They will get crispier and will even taste better. You have to be more careful with the time with the Olive oil since it can burn if you get it too hot for too long. I always spray things like fries and onion rings. Tater Tots don't need to be sprayed with oil. They are already coated in oil to help them crisp in regular ovens.
