[@YaNKeeR_]

Yes!! More air fryer recipes PLEASE!

[@anniessmokingpot]

@YaNKee R ..I couldn't live without my air fryer, that's for sure lol..I have some air fryer recipes on my channel if you are interested :-) Annie

[@turkeyman631]

@@anniessmokingpot Yeah I've had it for a bit but have only recently have I discovered just how good it can cook some of my favorite foods. And it makes it a little bit healthier for a lot of those meals.

[@anniessmokingpot]

@Turkey Man definitely.... anything you can deep fry, you can air fry and with a little oil mister you won't know the difference... except maybe how less greasy your fingers are lol..I hope you'll check out my channel 😀 Annie

[@mattmilazzo2805]

Sam- in the next cookbook, can you add QR codes that take you to the video of you making the recipe? Or playlists for ingredients- like chili crunch and all the stuff you do with it?

[@johnmcgraw3568]

This is an really an awesome idea.

[@andrewdangelo4263]

Very cool idea indeed.

[@anthonymcnatt3799]

Or you can learn something for your survival😂

[@ronfugate5859]

Or describe how to wipe an arse

[@reneaguilarguerrero8645]

@Sam give him a contract!

[@adailyyanksfan]

I do believe whomever was editing may have been partaking in edibles. Next up….schnitzel, but it wasn’t schnitzel. Was it good? 😂

[@SeanKnighton]

"and now we make meatballs" didn't we just see the meatballs? Glad it wasn't just me

[@robinharville6518]

Must’ve been a little on the high side while editing. 😂

[@BigDaddyCool55]

I was about to comment the same thing 😃.

[@richbennett6577]

Lmfao thank you, I’ve been drinking for a while and thought I may have misheard what he said 😝😂

[@gleichg]

I thought it was me that was stoned.

[@YdnickniL]

I just made the meatballs. Man were they fantastic. Hubby doesn't like spicy so I used regular sesame oil. We had it over rice with broccoli sauteed in butter, garlic and soy sauce. Would love more air fryer recipes.

[@cornerstonebodydynamics2829]

We tried the whole air fryer chicken last night... and wow! It needed a little more time due to the size, but the skin was perfectly flavored and so crisp!!!! Amazing Sam!

[@bboystance1670]

My sister bought me an air fryer 4 years ago and to this day, I probably use it more than anything else! One of the best gifts I've ever received! Awesome recipe Sam

[@andrewpatterson9042]

Sam is such a riot. Maybe I’m a sadist, but I always rewatch the parts when he miscalculates how hot something is when he pops it into his mouth (6:53) maybe 4-5 times. This is my happy place. Thanks for the great vids and recipes. Love you guys.

[@marylizzy99]

That, and when he wipes is mouth with the entire roll of paper towels!

[@nerdgirlb5973]

Thank you so much for the air fryer recipes! I can't wait to try all of these! Cutting down on red meat has been super hard. ❤️

[@lisarobertson5164]

Wow ! It all looks great, but that whole chicken looks amazing. We're new to the whole Air Fryer thing, so all recipes are appreciated. BTW, we cook a lot of your other recipes. Love the videos, you guys are fantastic.

[@robertvega3078]

Chance is lucky to have an awesome cook as a dad, gets to eat good all day everyday

[@teamshopstcg1611]

Hi Robert, Max is Sam’s son, Chance is not :)

[@noyneksyam8533]

F Max he’s mad corny b

[@johnheath86]

Max gonna get butt hurt with this one for sure

[@ControlTDB]

Max needs to stop talking. He's not funny and slows the pace of the videos.

[@cletts2007]

You never said how big the whole chicken was.

[@baumak3899]

Love the channel guys. Sam, the relationship you have with your sons is amazing. Kudos to you and your (shy) wife. Job well done. So happy your adding more Air Fryer recipes. I'd be lost (and hungry) without my AF. Cooking re-heating everything comes out as good AF!

[@LiqdPT]

Only Max is his son. Chance isnt.

[@billystpaul8907]

Look at it, the sun is out in SD today...I love my airfryer. It is a wonderful kitchen item for us single people...Thanks Sam..

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

YES! I've been hoping to see more recipes like these. Thanks guys 👏👏😁

[@1derol]

Definitely gotta try the whole chicken in our air fryer! Thanks Sam!

[@tomjoslin1]

Love watching your show. I want to thank you and the family for all your hard work in making these videos 🙏

[@pirategolfer3201]

I made both the meatballs and the chicken thighs today. The only change I made is that I used roasted garlic paste and the results were amazing! Sam, thanks again for the awesome recipes, you've made me look like a genius in the kitchen.

[@sdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsd]

cook ur dog plz or cat or any pet if not ur kids if not ur asss

[@Birchwood1976]

I just tried chili crunch for the first time and I love it, I'm definitely going to be experimenting with in the future.

[@BorkPlays]

great video. I just got one and looking forward to using it. Thanks for the recipes

[@capricerollans7934]

I m making this for sure !!! Looks amazing ! Great job as always

[@nickgibb4687]

jelly and BBQ sauce my mom has used for 50 yrs for little smokies

[@BLCKSMTHApparel]

Asian style sauces are so simple and easy to change up for different dishes but so incredible

[@getfood]

Tried the whole chicken. OMG. Best chicken I’ve ever had. Brown sugar is a game changer!

[@natalemorkel2648]

Sam!! Love air fryer recipes!!! Keep cooking!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Always my chill out time to watch your foodies videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tommackay7433]

I agree. I bought a big air fryer a few months ago and I couldn’t be happier with it.

[@Ultrean]

OMG! You literally cooked it perfect!

[@hulseymotocross127]

The authenticity is what makes this show great… NO MAX he should not write a script

[@BoilingKoolaid]

I love this channel. Thank you for existing. I am saving money to build a great backyard kitchen like yours. I'm a fan.

[@janicelichti717]

I love this series of chicken recipes.... thanks for the air-fryer version of your amazing cooking :)

[@nelsonm5032]

love your videos~ i personally use my air fryer for 75% of our cooking. best kitchen appliance ever imho... the short cooking time, the power you save, win, win...

[@nemesisbreakz]

I'll be trying that whole chicken recipe very soon. Keep up the good work my man.

[@drawnhere]

One good neutral oil for the chicken is canola. Has a mild flavor with a high smoke point.

[@oplawlz]

There actually were several devices toothpaste companies tried out in the 80s and 90s, but turns out they added cost with little benefit and customers didn't want them. We had a Mentadent brand one for a while when I was growing up.

[@Sabbathissaturday]

I just bought one yesterday and I’m obsessed!!! I had not been living!!!

[@TorchyBurns1]

Sam you are insanely inspiring and fun! You have sold me on an Air Fryer!!! That Schnitzel IS THE SHIZZLE! Dang!

[@maxinealarado9530]

Great video! Thank you.

[@brooklynnrose]

love the air fryer. !

[@kinjunranger140]

Hot Roux, Cold liquid, no lumps. - Chef John. And it works 100% of the time.

[@Thtgirlyshanti]

SAM!! I love watching you cook; you literally cook everything. I can’t wait till we get to end to see you taste your food, it looks amazing! Could you make dumplings? :)

[@carpediem9382]

Awesome video!!! Thanks so much!

[@berngirl5624]

If I had to choose between my air fryer and my dishwasher, I would chose my air fryer. I love it. I use it everyday. I've even made Yorkshire puddings in it. Add some sesame seeds to the schnitzel panko crumbs. So yummy.

[@robertmichaud9145]

I also am in love with the shiitake mushroom.

[@vanschat]

All of these look fantastic!

[@razdial]

Would you consider doing an episode on just making sauces that you can store and use for different things. I watched the episode you did a couple of years ago on spicy garlic fried chicken and that sauce is fantastic. I always have a squeezy bottle of it in the fridge and put it on loads of stuff.

[@jimmiemeeks9795]

Great one always learn something new appreciate y'all 😊 from Jacksonville FL

[@kenp133]

My wife approves of the chili crunch on the chicken thighs. We loved it! Thanks Sam

[@robwilkie5382]

All of these are incredible!

[@wisconsinbound2123]

Gonna try those recipies the food looked great

[@mpmitchell79]

The air fryer is something that we have that I never think to use unless it's for a small amount of something out of the freezer.... thanks for helping show us the way!

[@MrSoles]

EXCUSE ME!! Continuity error at 8:37! The chicken meatballs have already been presented in the video. I'm a subscriber. Love the content! 😀

[@shaunlee1636]

Thank you so much for the air fryer videos.

[@samuelwhite7856]

Would love to see more of these for all sorts of meat and fish

[@anonymousvapes8026]

Chicken is now on the menu all weekend long. Ty fir the recipe videos

[@ryanp6999]

Its on the menu 80% of the time at our house lol

[@darrellhood5430]

Hunter vs Max in an epic cook off LETS GO BOYS!!!

[@anniessmokingpot]

I LOVE my air fryer and cooking chicken in it is the BEST!!!! Always moist and tender with a great exterior... Much ❤️ Annie

[@goldilox369]

Yep. My husband and I were amazed at how juicy and perfect all the meats turned out.

[@artanderson4240]

Man...I',ve got to try your recipes. Looks so delicious.

[@VS-zv7cx]

I’ll be making all of these 💚

[@maitrayee22]

The Best and an Amazing Air Fryer Masterchef and Recipes in KZbin !! Love your delicious different types of recipes. I admire your art of cooking and all the recipes. Look forward to see your incredible videos. Thank you so much SAM and guys !! Cheers !!

[@marksadler6558]

My wife brought an air fryer into our marriage a few years ago and albeit there are good uses for it so far it’s not my go to cooking device. All 4 of these recipes look amazing! We’re going to give our stepchild of cooking devices a new chance now.

[@Maltise1]

Just bought a air fryer last week and needed recipes beyond prepackaged things and here we are lol

[@tinakennedy9932]

Just made the whole air fryer chicken!!!! So good- so damn good! Essential a carnivore due to food allergies! You are Sam the Cooking Guru for me. Thank You

[@SGolenski]

Grape Jelly, Sriracha & a drizzle of sesame oil. I dip my seared tuna in it. Delicious!

[@user-xs5uk4lb6z]

Me too looks so yummy

[@kevinenlow7059]

I use grape jelly and chill sauce for little Smokey's

[@bizzwag]

I felt the same way you guys do about the tooth paste when the first upside down ketchup bottle when it came out, I was like "How did this not happen like 30 years ago.".

[@bikeny]

I just bought an AF (sorry, couldn't resist) yesterday and it's due to arrive in a couple of days, so I am looking forward to trying some of these recipes. Thank you. (I was gonna buy a toaster oven too, but then I searched to see if I can use the AF to toast bagels; good news, yes you can, so I don't need the toaster oven).

[@alexanderhei5665]

butter under the chickens's skin is a game changer. Also filling the chicken's inside with herbs and oranges or lemons adds to the taste

[@cedrickburns8097]

The food looks delicious as always, and don’t use a script keep it real I love your non-script style its fun and exciting 💯💯💯💯

[@TheTenCentStory]

Clearly, Sam doesn't use a script.

[@michellegibbs2065]

Chicken looked amazing!!

[@dianareddell1496]

Goosh…that all looks soooo good!!

[@davebertolo5444]

That looks good, oh and by the way your new book is awesome every one should have one for the summer!!!

[@samiam3297]

Thank you! 🙂👍

[@GinaFischione-iz6oo]

Love it !

[@alejandrocueva3372]

Could you prepare a beef Wellington. I’ve always wanted to see how it’s done.

[@BuckFlicks]

I’m gonna try that whole chicken tomorrow.

[@Wolverine60fps]

more air fryer recipes please!

[@xpyr]

For those wondering where Max got that tune from for the intro, it's the song Lost in Your Iyes... by AyEl The Great.

[@gleichg]

Chicken thighs + Air Fryer = DELICIOUSNESS FOREVER!

[@conradbo1]

Very good and informative video. The chicken looks delirious

[@myrawilk527]

Tonight’s dinner!! Excellent 😊

[@melodywunschel3064]

You should get a danish whisk for Max he can use it to mix heavy dough but it also works well for ground meats like making meatballs and such.

[@coolworths]

Just flipped this bird!! My house is smelling amazing rn. Merry Christmas, yall!!

[@davidpeterson8821]

Don't have one, now I need one! These recipes look great.... Air fryer all the way! 😎

[@JohnnysChingaderas]

I probably been making chicken tenders almost twice a week ever since buying our air fryer, they come out so damn good and grease free, its insane that literally it is a miniature conventional oven lol

[@Ricecooka]

If I can make a chicken thigh look like it came off the grill that you did in this video, then the air fryer is literally my hero and Godsend. I'll be trying it tomorrow!

[@pjgunn7559]

Thanks again Sam!!

[@ThEMAgIKaLBEaN]

Max Vs. Hunter! That would be awesome! LETS GET IT ON!!! 🔔🔔🔔

[@honey55379]

All I can say is this is awesome

[@jordangrist3772]

Incredible editing work!

[@2075vj]

I didn’t see in your list of the type of air fryer using. Thanks for sharing.

[@Soowa124]

Looks like a Power Air Fryer XL

[@LeighPogue]

Love love this video ! Can’t wait to try these recipes. Thanks guys Max, some toothpastes come in a tube with a pump. I think aqua fresh does. I don’t use that brand but yeah

[@doublecheeseburger1712]

Great video! Where do I get chili crunch?

[@Camo_270]

I Airfry Chicken Thighs (Skin on, with Bone) in different marinades.I'm finding the perfect time to cook, but the skin comes out amazing.

[@evoltnvii]

Now this is my kind of episode!

[@IvysKitchen]

A whole chicken in the airfryer! Wow 🤯 I LIKE IT!

[@joanpatek478]

I fix them all the time Grape jelly and chilly sauce good

[@raibaru1980]

We do the grape meathballs (beef) every year and potluck for xmas. 1 jar of grape jelly, 2 jars of chili sauce, and a bag of kirkland meatballs. Takes seconds to throw together and ready to eat by lunch slowcooking at the pot luck.

[@floydphillip7648]

Fantastic!

[@5argetech56]

Thank you for confirming that cooking a whole chicken in the Air Fryer is possible.. I have done it many times! It comes out super juicy and tender! Love your style! Please don't change a thing!

[@paulandreassen9964]

Best chicken ever, I make that air fryer whole chicken 2-3 times a month, slightly different seasoning but same process. I would love to see your version of a Chicken Vindaloo in a pressure cooker. I’ve tried a couple recipes but haven’t found one I love.

[@hestisa956]

U use the air fryer setting or roast setting for the last recipe? Whole chicken ?
