Recipe: Air Fried Chicken Wings

We recently won an air fryer in a cooking contest, so we've been trying a slew of different recipes in the kitchen. I never felt the urge to buy one before this, as I assumed that it would be no different from oven cooking, which we already do in our kitchen. 

Boy, was I wrong! So after trying the air fryer for over a week now, we do notice that the food is much crispier than it would be from an oven, and the cooking time is slightly shorter too. The disadvantage though, is that it can't really handle a huge amount of cooking at a time due to the size of the frying basket. But what a nifty tool to have in the kitchen, I would say - best of all, we can greatly reduce the amount of oil we would normally use to deep fry food and still get the same satisfaction from eating it.

So, the first thing we cooked in the air fryer was air fried chicken wings. Since chicken wing is made up of lots of skin, we just coated them in oil, some yuzu salt (you can just use regular salt) and garlic powder, popped it in the air fryer for 20 minutes and voila! Crispy, yet juicy wings. No standing over hot stoves or oil splatter. Love it!
