Freakin' Reviews tip for fried chicken. Spray with a little olive oil from a spritzing bottle to help crisp the skin.

[@laurametheny1008]

Freakin' Reviews Right on point again for my fam! My daughter wants a new fryer. She made her ex take his old nasty one lol. I have wanted to find out about these so... Is this the "famous new one" everybody has been raving about? Price sounds the same but I THINK that one is supposed to be a slow cooker/pressure cooker and ladeeda too so Idk.😯Btw I'm glad you too use BBB! Except for the crazy bedding and really "classy high end" stuff I love that place. The coupons work on alot of stuff AND it doesn't matter if they expire or how many you use. At least at our store. Anyway thanks for ANOTHER helpful review!🍟🍤🍗☺

[@aimee74075]

can u use the basket for the fried chicken?

[@wendyokoopa7048]

Freakin' Reviews as costly as this is I kind of want one mom doesn't want me deep frying due to health issues and this might be a way to cut out grease and fat

[@georgeklug481]

I bought this air fryer Sept 2023 and started using it right away, with trepidation at first, having never owned one before kzbin.infoUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB . But I started trying the different settings and yes, I burned a few things at first until I got the hang of it, and have loved using it ever since I got it. For a single person, cooking smaller-scale meals is great while avoiding heating up a whole oven. The only downside to this air fryer is that the buttons are finicky since they're touch-based and the sensors are weird. I'd buy this thing again if I needed to, but at this point (if I don't jinx myself) I won't have to for a while to come.

[@willieveasey9798]

I have been using the air fryer for about 5 years. Have learned a few tricks. For fried chicken there are a few things you can do. One, when you put your flour on the chicken, it has to be a real light coat, not heavy as if you are frying. A lighter coat allows all the flour to cook. Also, when using flower, lower the temperature about 20 degrees and cook longer, again gives the flour time to cook. Second, after coating with flour, use an oil like "Pam" to spray a light coating on the chicken, helps for browning. And last, coat your chicken with Paprika. A light coating doesn't add much for flavor, but will give your crust a nice brown color.

[@HollywoodColt]

You recommend the air fryer I've been thinking about buying one

[@MJ-il4in]

You can also cook naked toss the chicken a few times during cooking and skin is just as crispy as if it was battered

It's pretty rare to find thorough review channels like this. Just the fact that you thought beforehand that you would probably have to have a second part for once you get used to the product and not just your initial impressions lend droves to your integrity. - an hours old subscriber

[@lindapurkey54]

This is the first channel I have subscribed to on KZbin. I have watched several of his product review videos and he keeps them real and honest. I feel his reviews can be trusted and he's ordinary people trying to make the money of his money work for the products we might all consider buying some day. I appreciate your commitment to your reviews. Thanks.

[@jemagu6]

Let the chicken sit for 30 minutes after you batter them. This gives the dry ingredients time to soak in and you get a much better breading... and no powder.

[@evelyneller9647]

Some people say to put the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes after breading it and it helps to keep the breading on the chicken. I'm getting ready to try this on some chicken thighs. Great video, can't wait to watch your next video. God bless you.

[@jdwful]

How do u get recipe books

[@mariapeaceangel]

I've been making croissants from the refrigerated dough, they're amazing! 340 degrees for 9 minutes with the rack in the center. I only do one rack at a time so they come out perfect. It's really fast and good compared to a regular oven.

[@jcz232321]

I've found that to get crispy and slightly golden(ed) from frozen fries, PRE-HEAT your cooker, or add an extra 6-8 minutes time. The come out GREAT for me.

[@kathyf4224]

I just upgraded from the basket style air fryer and I love it. Have used it almost every day the past week. Frozen french fries, mozz sticks, wings, steak, Rotisserie chicken, shrimp, dehydrated strawberries. Everything came out great. Didn't have to do batches like the other one. I used a pliers to grab the racks to pull them out without burning my hands. Then hubby made me a tool to pull out the racks (you can also use the rotisseri grabber tool to pull out the racks). I found it very easy to clean, dishwasher worked fine on racks and drip tray. Yes racks closer to top (heat source} will cook faster. My fries cooked in 10 min, brown and crispy, did them on tray, didn't flip, must depend on the brand you use.

[@adrianaarreaga3315]

Hello! I am here searching solutions. Can you help me pls? With my power air fryer, the second time that I cooked rooster chicken, it doesn’t roll, what I have to do? Sorry for my English, I am from Ecuador.

[@skettismyname]

Took a left back at retro video games and now I'm here... KZbin is a strange, and incredible place.

[@nimarus3118]

We got a basket air frier a while back and loved it. It's great when you just want to cook a handful of Mozzarella Cheese Sticks but don't want to use a full-sized oven. We later got a second one that has a basket and rotisserie built in. Plus, we just take the baskets out and let them soak overnight for easy cleaning.

[@Blahshog]

We find that brushing the racks with a little Olive Oil prior to cooking lessens the problem of meat sticking to them.

[@elevitteri5517]

Michael Kane great advice

[@nicoleb3103]

If the racks every hard to clean put a fabric softener sheet on top of it and let it soak in water. It works on pans also. One more thing you may have to put olive oil spray, coconut spray or Pam on the flour chicken. That helps the flour disappear from the chicken.

[@missjewells5063]

Use a glove 🧤 The easy way to clean is to put them in your sink, sprinkle on Baking Soda, then spray on White Vinegar. It’ll fizz. Wait 5 mins at least, and you’ll pretty much be able to rinse off, or lightly wipe clean. Works for outside grills, overhead stove filters, or anything really. But it’ll lift grease so fast! I’m curious how it’ll work on the copper items you’ve reviewed though. Hope that helps. Thanks for your review on this unit, I’ve been curious.

[@johnsmith-fe2lu]

I hope this works for me but how did u learn this method. Just curious as to why I've yet to see a restaurant I've worked at try this when. We all just complain with a scrub pad in hand

[@carlosreyes3620]

"The outside has a nice 🎄"

[@cajmartinez]

Clean up can be a pain, but if you soak them and clean up right away, it helps. If you read your manual, you would see you pull the front door out to clean it. I've been using mine for over 5 years, and it has become my most used appliance. I have even made a few cakes in this.

[@AvieMare]

I have a basket style air fryer and use it daily for heating up almost everything. I also have the bucket attachment which sits inside the basket. I use that for cakes, quick reads, mini-casseroles etc. I think mine is a Panasonic. It came from HSN. I use it so much I’m actually looking for a bigger one.

[@switchtheghost452]

12:30 is so enthused by a rotisserie. That genuinely made me smile

I thought I would go the whole day without hearing the phrase: "I had to throw the chicken on the window sill because it burnt my hand."

[@TheEaglssong]

So far, I’m loving mine. Did you discover that the door comes off? Makes for easier clean up, then snaps right back in.

[@starwarsfan3929]

Anne... I kept screaming at the video saying 'take the dang door off and you won't get burned!' LOL

[@dlucas1657]

[@chrissymaxie]

@anne thank you I’ve been wondering how to clean in between

[@PuppyLoveCreations]

I have a toaster oven. I use it all the time . It's hard to clean but I cook everything in it. We just ordered the airfryer oven and I can't wait to try it. I also have a big over that's with my stove . I only use that for Christmas baking. The toaster oven is still working but we think the airfryer oven will be easy-to-use and clean. We have had the toaster oven for 4years now. Thank You for the video's they helped a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@RabbitsInBlack]

Companies are calling a Convection Oven NOW AirFryer in 2019. Interesting.

[@SuperMouseDV]

I currently have an Air fryer.. And Soon Im getting this one TOTALLY impressed plus the amount of interior space. And the cook books.. Love it. BTW Love my Air fryer. best Grilled Cheese sandwich ever.. (does require one flip) It also restarts Sweet and sour chicken (the chicken itself) and reduces the oil so they are better the second time. (tip to get your rice be it refried or white rice. wet a paper towel place in the bottom of a bowl then fill with your rice then place another wet paper towel on the top and cook for 4-6 minutes (re steamed but the bottom towel is necessary or the rice gets rubbery)

[@d.m.573]

Thanks for another great review, James! I look forward to part 2 :)

[@mariesmith599]

I keep the bottom tray that catches grease covered with reynolds wrap less cleaning. The racks I coat with coconut oil spray. After seasoning your chicken lightly spray with the coconut oil spray. Start cooking your chicken. About every 12 to 15 minutes I bring the chicken out turn them and lightly coat again with the spray. This helps disolve your flour and helps crisp your chicken. Hope this helps you and other viewers to not have to clean so much.

[@ChristysCookingLifestyle]

Great review!! Even on regular air fryers, I have 3, I have to cook the chicken for 10 minutes then lightly spray the dry areas. The top rack legs looked great. Thanks for the mention, I appreciate it. I shared this video with 2 gadget Facebook groups I'm in. Several members have been asking about this oven. Look forward to your follow up reviews. Thanks for sharing😃

[@Freakinreviews]

Thanks Christy. I almost sent you a message while testing this out, and I still might for Part 2!

[@starwarsfan3929]

Christy... you make a great point about lightly spraying... to make sure that food does have that nice crispy browned look i often apply a light coating of olive oil spray... it makes a huge difference...

Its cooked chicken. Same thing, same calories, just wasting more $$$.

[@thekam3588]

I was given this as a Christmas gift and had fun with empanadas. Yesterday I decided to use the rotisserie to do a small chicken. Rotisserie didn't work so I placed the chicken on a rack to cook. After about 30 minutes I heard an odd sound. I went to check and this thing CRACKED MY QUARTZ COUNTERTOP!!!!!!! UPDATE: I contacted the company and they have given prompt attention to this matter and are rectifying this. Thank you.

[@mellowman8695]

From the makers of the easy bake oven now comes the air frying oven instead of that out of date light bulb we took the wires from a toaster and added a door this is state of the art technology that is patented and does exactly the same thing your oven does but with the fancy air in the name it amazes me what people will waste their money on

[@SmokeyRoseWolf]

[@user-neo71665]

Kids, back when I was little we called air frying baking. We also played outside without the neighbors calling protective services.

[@rprozier]

I bought the air fryer oven today and made frozen fries in the basket for my son. He loved it. Then I made fried chicken wings for dinner and it was delicious. I rotated my trays but I also turned the chicken over. I basted the bottom rack wings with BBQ sauce. Delicious. I used my own batter mix, first soaking the wings in vinegar for about 20 mins.then using my flour and seasoning mixture. After dinner even my husband agreed that the wings were crunchy and done and we promptly threw out our trusted deep fryer.

[@josephriley6591]

I am seriously considering buying this oven. One of my main purposes is baking. I live in Arizona where turning on the oven in the summer is really horrible. Can I bake a 9 inch cake or pie in this oven?

[@finisher3x]

I got this oven and have used it twice. The rotisserie chicken breast turned out great, although I did have one piece that kept hitting the bottom of the tray and knocked it off track a few times. I made something simple, a bologna and cheese sandwich, which turned out decent. I'll try a hamburger next. Then the big test, a fried leg quarter.

[@milicadjukich4416]

you really good a great job demonstarting how it works! THANK YOU!

[@gman3109]

It amazes me that both you and Tyler tube manage to pull stuff straight out of the oven and then are shocked when it's boiling hot!

to prevent burning your hand on air fryer door simply remove door, that's easily detachable

[@jackiebrown9440]

I have this air fryer and love it. When frying chicken/fish, I spray the racks with Pam. Makes it much easier to clean. Also, the door comes off for easy cleaning.

[@letgo8118]

Darn it my niece found and bought a Air Fryer last week for 24.99 on sale she said she loves it. I payed over a 100. 00 dollars for mine.

[@71160000]

Thanks for the review. I was considering buying the oven but after seeing how little it holds and the clean up involved I think I'll stick to my nu wave oven. It takes longer but I can cook a whole frozen chicken in 90 minutes. It does an excellent job of sausages and pretty much anything you cook in an oven. Unless you plan on only dehydrating a small amount a large dehydrator, mine holds nine large trays, is the only way to go. My garden produces lots of vegetables and fruit and I also make trays of jerky in it. My favorite is dried figs or strawberries. Slice, dip in sugar water, dehydrate. Keeps for months on the shelf.

[@traceyhogan1234]

Loved it at first but chucked it to the trash the other day. It’s great if you’re cooking using only one rack. But when you use all three, you have to constantly switch the racks around. Plus it’s a pain to clean when anything breaded is used because it all land I. The door jam and the racks get sticky no matter how much dawn you use.

[@leslieslass]

Can you also do a review on the Power Air Fryer XL also, please Freakin' Reviews ?

[@Sky1]

We returned ours, it smelled like burnt insulation and the lower level never got cooked.

[@MrWoofie62]

I've been using my Power Air Fryer Cooker daily for about 4 years and am very pleased. My only real criticisms are the wire racks are a nuisance to wash and the drip tray is far too shallow. The tray can tend to fill up & overflow when cooking fatty meat like Belly Pork or Breast of Lamb for example but I found that putting a thick slice of bread on the drip tray absorbs a vast amount of fats & juices etc. Another good thing is that the fatty bread slices are great to feed wild birds, especially in the winter months when food is scarce and covered in snow.

[@Palladio-gu3dj]

You can oven fry chicken in a standard oven in 45 min that is crispy and looks much better and I sure would not spend that money to make croutons!

[@davidx5945]

I agree and you wouldn't have to do all that cleaning afterwards with the chicken in a oven.

[@yourefucked5118]

Its alot healthier and comes out like actual fried in oils instead of doing so. It's really something a healthy lifter athlete would enjoy in think more than anything for prep and for making lots of rotisserie chicken

[@janetbrowning9089]

I totally agree and what a mess to clean that thing up afterwards...and I don't like it that you have to keep pulling out the racks and changing them around...it definitely is not something I would waste my money on. I have a good microwave, toaster oven and my regular stove and oven...that is more than I really need...I don't use the microwave except sometimes to heat leftovers...or to melt butter or thaw something. Yes, my "fried chicken comes out with no oil or grease on it and it is nice and crispy too...looks so much better than this does...this doesn't look appetizing at all.

And in 45 minutes in a standard oven you can forget to turn the chicken and end up with a burned wreck. No thanks.

Bought one of these from JC Penney (they only had 3 left so I was so hopeful). Used it the 1st day was wonderful. Went to use it the 2nd day and it wouldn't turn on. Checked everything, went thru all troubleshooting still wouldn't work. Took it back & exchanged for another 1. Needless to say went back & exchanged till JC Penney had none. Kept having the same problem would use it once making sure it had plenty of space, on it's own circuit, etc. Went with the Emeril and have had no issues at all 6 months later using almost everyday. Yes, it does smoke because of the heating rods on the bottom keep getting dripped on. I will admit I really miss this units rotisserie spits. Wonderful review I wish mine had worked as well as yours.

I watch lots of cooking videos and they all spritz it lightly first, before placing in oven. You can also spritz your food later in the cooking process, if it isn’t cooking even, like the spice powder clump he noticed near the end of video on his chicken.

I just got one a Power Airfryer Over Elite (August 2018) and my door is hinged on the left hand side, rather than at the bottom like this model. The glass of the door slides out for easy cleaning in the dishwasher. I have a regular Power Airfryer XL and it seems to cook much faster than this oven. I really bought it for the rotisserie so I could make my own organic whole chickens and it worked really well. I'm trying the kale chips now. It's gonna take some playing with to figure out how to time things since it seems to cook more slowly than the oven. I'm going to try to rotisserie a roast next. Thanks for the review!

[@rosieduarte8992]

That's a pretty nice machine, I think if you used less racks on the chicken would of come out better and these companies never tell you that the more moisture content in the fruit or vegetable takes a lot longer than they say to dehydrate could take up to 24 hrs to completely dehydrate tomatoes , but look forward to see what else you make on that , would like to see how it makes a whole chicken in the rotisserie

Hi Rosie, and I think you're right about using less racks and taking up to 24 hours to dehydrate. I may attempt a whole chicken for Part 2.

There should be more space between the chicken or other larger pieces of food so the air can circulate more between them. Maybe larger pieces on top also.

Thanks for the review. I've been dealing with air fryers since the late 1990's. Jet Stream Oven. My friend was sold on the fact that "you don't have to turn it over". I was telling her that that is hard to believe with the source of heat coming from the top. When the first air fryers with the pull out tray...I said that they were too small AND too close. Then when the 3+ quarts came out, I started noticing more. The reason I liked the Jet stream oven was that you can stack it to make it higher. Then the Flavorwave, NuWave, etc., came out with an extender ring. Getting back to your review...especially, the fried chicken, I got similar results with the previous air ovens when using flour type coating. Had the 'best' result when using breaded or crumb based coating. (Panko, Shake n Bake, grounded seeds, etc.). If it was a 'juicy' or slightly undercooked piece from a take-out then ....then the left over was great. I also told my friend that when Air Fryers first came out....they advertised dehydration; but as you said it'll take hours Your next project with fried chicken, would you try one rack in the middle or bottom? Also, put an oven temperature gauge in it and 'see' if you actually get close to 400°. Closest I got was 375° with and 1800 watt unit and dedicated 20 amp circuit. Again, thanks for you review, will look for other's in the future.

I have the same oven. the first time I did a whole rotisserie chicken, I got a 6 lb.chicken based on my family size. i got this great roast chicken seasoning recipe from my cousin. I buttered the breast under the skin, rubbed this great seasoning all over the chicken. Put a small lemon and small orange in the cavity. Tied the legs together and assembled it on the rotisserie. Turned it on, it started rotating and dragging on the bottom drip pan. My chicken was too large.. so I tried to adjust it so it would not drag as bad. All in all when it was finished cooking the seasoning was rubbed off on that one side. It smelled good and was absolutely delicious. So now I make sure my bird is not too much over 4 lbs. When air frying i always sprayed the racks with non-stick spray and also sprayed the chicken. It turned out beautiful from the start. But i'm sure you know this by now.

[@patriciadelatorre4150]

When cooking meat with a floor coating you should let it sit 30 minutes before you cook . You wont get the dry floor spots.

[@Freakinreviews]

Hi Patricia. I did let it sit, but not that long. I'll keep that in mind in the future!

[@nan9mo]

Patricia Delatorre..... Make sure you mop your floor first, and don't slip and fall!

you used their name, and then STILL called the poster "hon". what are you, a 60's waitress?

We recently purchased an air fryer. My wife uses it in a daily basis. My only complaint, is the amount of heat blowing out the rear of the unit. We keep it pulled out from the wall when in use, to minimize the heat blowing against our tile wall.

[@jjscott1216]

You def need a brush to clean the racks and the rotating basket, the door comes off to make cleaning easier. Just discovered that the other night. Also, always pre heat. Helps big time

[@orlendatube]

I am curious if "crispy crowns" (like tater tots in a coin shape) would fall apart if put in the basket....

I received my Air Frier today. All those bits and pieces had me freaking out but your video was excellent so I’m looking forward to using it now. Thanks very much.

Why you didn't spray the racks you ever cook in a oven. To keep things for sticking Pam spray

[@Tw3akst3r]

Not going to look at all the other comments to see if it was said but the door is WAY easier to clean when removed which is super easy to remove. Nice review though, going to watch part 2 shortly. Also, it removes the issue of hitting the door while it is hot.

[@FluffysMum]

I had 2, first one broke after 10 days, so they replaced it, then that one stopped working after a week. Gutted, but got a refund. How is yours working now after a year I would love to know 💖

[@blondiejam924]

My first one lasted 6 months light went and you can't replace it as it's built in got it changed second one light did not come on when you opened the door so got my money back and brought a different make

You can wrap that bottom tray with foil. My mom does that. Everything drips in the foil and you just take off the foil when it gets nasty. Makes cleanup a whole lot easier.

Awesome Review! I haven't seen that infomercial here on the east coast yet. Would like to see you grill some fish like salmon, founder or sole

[@Freakinreviews]

Fish (especially salmon) is definitely on my short list for Part 2. I saw the infomercial for this running on several channels last weekend, so it looks like they are starting a marketing push for it.

really? I been seeing it everywhere here in Florida. ordered mine off the infomercial

[@jannaclark2667]

I live in Ohio and hubby watches the info shows on cooking and he mentioned it to me but he says its not on often. I am going to keep a eye on it, see how it goes. Want to learn more about it first before I decide if we need one and then talk him into getting one. I'd like to see fish fixed in it and know more about how hard it is to clean up.

[@TexasScratchMan]

i love my power airfryer oven. Best Air Fryer ive ever had and i love the space it has compared to most. Also there is a tray handle that came with the air fryer your supposed to pul the trays out with. And i found putting the battered chicken in the rotisserie wheel works better than putting them on layers in the tray. Best cleanup, unplug the fryer and spray soapy water inside and let sit for 5-10 min then wipe and clean. Soak trays in hot soapy water then scrub

[@TheCynicalDude_]

So, this is not an "air fryer" at all? This is just an oven?

[@Freakinreviews]

I would describe it as a mini convection oven more than an air fryer.

[@pastorofmuppets325]

When I cook FF in the oven they come out MAD CRISPY THO! I wouldn't buy this product just b/c of that. Who wants french fries that are just baked? Yuck!

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

Freakin' Reviews You've just answered the question I was about to ask. "Why is this better than a convection oven?" It apparently isn't.

[@akashic7348]

"Air Fryer" is really just marketing term, it seems.

[@donnerparty1815]

TheCynicalDouche... I'd describe it as a piece of junk.

[@ANAJVIBES]

Just came here after seeing your Part 2 vid. I have been using the NuWave oven for five yrs (Those are built bad cuz plastic dome always cracks no matter what) and like the whole Table top air convection method (aka Air Frying). This design looks really great (the layers) rather than those drawer air fryers I see. So after seeing your Vids 1 and 2, I'm sold. Thanx for your reviews. I subscribed after your 2nd one but I cant wait to see your other reviews on other products! Youre Awesome!

[@indyduane]

i do like cooking the french fries this way so there not soaked in a pound of grease

[@pastorofmuppets325]

IndyDuane Just cook them in the oven in a pan lined with parchment paper. Stir them one time halfway through the baking time. They come out super-crispy & don't use any added oil.

[@donnalynn2]

@@pastorofmuppets325 Yup! My husband wants to get one of these. I knew there would be a review here and I'm so glad I looked! My convention oven already does all of this now, why buy another gadget to take up space on my counter?

We like it because, here in the South, it get so hot, using the oven is out of the ? for summer months. If it's' not cooked in skillet, crock pot or the grill, we don't get it. House was built in 1880. They had no clue, what insulation was, back then. lol@@donnalynn2

Just FRY chicken in a pan or deep fryer. I have an air fryer but it can be unnecessary drama. But Frozen chicken nuggets and frozen french fries may work best. Spray both with olive oil prior to putting them into the air fryer. Good review

[@patc.1745]

Agree, I was thinking about getting one until I saw this. Many of my friends and family members were gifted one for the holidays so I was curious how it work because of course it seems much healthier then traditional frying. So glad I saw this. Just another piece of equipment to takeup space in the kitchen. I don't eat fried foods that much so it's easier for me to pass on this one and enjoy something fried the traditional way every now and then.

[@Joani161]

Thanks for the review! FYI Too much flour. Allow some of the buttermilk to drip off and put flour in a bag [a smaller paper bag works best] put about 3 pieces of chicken in and shake to coat. Shake off excess flour. Looks like racks need to be sprayed first with oil. I found that in an air fryer spraying with a little olive oil made fries browner & crisper

[@thomopolusrex8436]

Thank you for the video. I'm disappointed with the product but your video saved me from buying this catastrophe. Seems the oven is more difficult than it's worth. I'm saddened because I really wanted this oven to deliver. Oh well.

[@b.dwaynearmstrong577]

I own this and it is unbelievable. A 5 lb. rib roast on the rotisserie and you get a nice crisp crust on the outside and tender juiciness on the inside. The same for a 4-5 lb. pork loin. I love to cook for my family using the Air Fryer oven. Meals are always delicious. To make cleaning easy, soak the racks and rotisserie parts in water and they clean very easily. If you don't have one, buy one! This is coming from a man who can't cook.

[@tedmoy]

I "sun dry" my stuff by leaving them in my car while I'm at work. It works great.

Hi, I just found your channel today; I am thrilled! My husband got me this oven as a Christmas present and I am having to relearn cooking especially baking! (I am 72 years young and used to cooking over a fire! lol) just kidding! I am not thrilled with the thing you are to use to get the racks out. 1/2 the time I find myself dropping the shelf usually on the oven door or counter top. I am not sure how they could make it better. I am finding my attempts the same as you are showing that for crispy results like fried chicken is the top rack does crisp better. My results so far have been positive just be patient and know that you are on a learning curve. Today I will be doing rock cornish hens in my power oven.
