The air fryer lived up to promises of cooking juicy, moist and flavorful wings. You can also just unplug the air fryer when you’re done. A handy feature is that, if you’re out of the room, the air fryer will beep again after 5, 30 or 60 minutes to remind you to hit cancel and return it to standby. It beeps and displays “End” before turning off the fan, though the machine remains on until you press “Cancel”. You have to press the Start button to continue cooking.įinally, the air fryer let me know when my timer was up. It’s important to note, though, that the air fryer does not start up again after you turn your food and close the basket. If you don’t want to rotate your food, however, the “Turn Food” stage will disappear after 10 seconds and continue uninterrupted. I followed directions, pulling out the basket and using tongs to rotate the chicken pieces. The display read “Cook” and I could hear the fan working again.Īfter 12 minutes, the display changed to “Turn Food”. I spread half of the seasoned wings out in a single layer in the basket, then returned the basket to the housing. I could fit all of the chicken wings in the air fryer, but it seemed a little crowded, so I decided to go for two batches. The first time using the appliance, you’ll want to do a test run without any food. The basket has to be removed, then replaced at this stage so the machine knows that there’s something in there to cook. Once the oven reached temperature, which took about four minutes, the display changed to “Add Food”. Meanwhile, I seasoned the drumsticks with a slight drizzle of olive oil, salt and lemon pepper seasoning. The fan is not too noisy, but you can certainly hear it. Then, the appliance let me know that it was preheating. I selected the Air Fry setting, then adjusted the time and temperature with the knob and touchscreen buttons. I found a recipe from the Instant Brands website which gave a recommended cook time of 25 minutes for two pounds of chicken drumsticks at a temperature of 400☏.
