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.

Quick air fryer or oven fry tip: spray avocado oil (or cooking spray) on both sides of anything you want to fry! We just had panko oven fried shrimp 🍤 last night. Super crispy, delicious and not as heavy as deep fried. But fat is delicious so of course it’s going to be more flavorful 🤤! Kill that timer Sam!!!

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@mikedrop4421]

You have to mist the chicken with oil for the air fryer to work properly.

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

[@bronstet]

Great chicken tender recipe. I see a lot of debate below regarding using oil I the air fryer. The deal is that hested oil has a low heat capacity, transfers heat to food much faster than air, is a viscous moist heat, and it can penetrate food to a degree. Heated air wicks moisture away and while it does penetrate food unlike oil it also leaves food. This is why untreated food comes out dry from an air fryer. A light coating of oil on air fried food is basically a medium between the two. You're transferring heat between air and the oil and then the food. However, there is not enough oil to overcome the heat transfer from air entirely. So the air still does most of the cooking. But the food will have better browning with if air fried dry.
