Air Fryer Recipe Thread

Tigriss — Sat, 03 Dec 2016 16:02:17 GMT

Lets put air fryer recipes in one place. I just purchased one from WM on the BF sale for $39 for a 2.5qt fryer. I have wanted one but didn't want the price, plus I have a couter top convection oven/toaster oven and thought about using it, but it was a deal too good to pass up. So I need air fryer recipes, especially veggies. I've got some sample air fryer recipes books on my Kindle and bought the Allison Waggoner on Kindle for $8.99 instead of the $20 on Evine or even Amazon. I've been searching for recipes for it, other than prepared foods (tons of bad stuff in them) and found the recipes all scattered about.

I thought, why not start a place for people to post those recipes and where new people can find them.

I want to thank everyone for sharing their wonderful knowledge and tastey recipes, and especially thank you from those of us newbies. When you don't know what to do, seek the wisdom of those wiser to guide you.

I download any and all recipe guides that are available when an air fryer is shown online. There are a lot to sample between the three shopping networks.

@momtochloe That is an excellent idea.

@cancun08 That too is a great idea.

@Tigriss That is a great idea. There are many sites out there but you can spend hours looking through recipes and not find what you want. Personal experiences with recipes and then passing them on are priceless. Many of my recipes I use the most have come from friends. Right now I am still on a special pancreas diet and am not much is allowed for another few weeks. I will save some recipes I see I may like.

I like Cornish game hens and acorn squash in an air fryer. These are made like normally for me but the times would be less.

Oh you know what @Tigriss I should have mentioned for those that are looking for recipes or cooking tips YouTube is absolutely amazing in terms of helpful videos. As they come from all over the world, you get a fabulous view of what is possible in an air fryer.

@momtochloe I just pulled up all the air fryers at the shopping channels and downlaoded their booklets to a air fryer recipes folder. HSN didn't have any, but the other two sites are a wealth of knowledge, especially the Paula Deen booklets. She has TONS of recipes included with her instruction booklets.

I am looking for tried and true recipes, but we all seem to be looking for those.

@Tigriss I know that Paula Deen's name can upset some folks but I have to say the line she has brought to Evine is very interesting. Great colors, patterns but also great inovations to each appliance. I realize I don't have any of her appliances but in watching her shows for me it seems like she has built in some great upgrades and I more than agree her booklet that is available on line is the best of the bunch.

@momtochloe @Tigriss @cancun08 @MKR14 I do the same thing. You can also download the Philips Airfryer App which has lots of recipes. They also have recipes on their site. I think their recipes are in C° instead of F° so you need to convert.

I made Empanadas tonight in the AF, they were picture perfect and delicious. I am thrilled with my AF.

Made the Blue Jean Chef's Pickle Brine Fried Chicken, it was really good and juicy. I butterflied a chicken breast, brined it in Pickle Juice and breaded. I assembled in the am and refrigerated until dinner. The breading was excellent. Next time I will brine in buttermilk and Franks hot sauce.

Wow! So glad I found this thread! I love my Air Fryer but would like more tested recipes to try..

.I will share a very easy one that I just made. Simple but tasty!

I scrub white potatoes and cut them into small chunks.(do not peel them) Put them in a Lock and Lock and add a small amount of Zesty Italian Dressing. Snap the lid on and shake the potatoes vigourously distributing the dressing evenly. Drain any excess dressing from your potaotes before adding them to your Air Fryer.

Set temperature and time according to yiour Fryer specifications.

They are the perfect compliment to any dish and taste delicious!

@Chicagoan

I think that brining chicken in pickle juice is something that Chic-fil-a does. i know their copycat recipes call for doing that. Like buttermilk, it tenderizes the chicken.

I think I will do some fried apple pies using biscuit dough and apple filling then drizzle with powdered sugar and water icing. This woud make doing them super easy as it did for making fried chicken. I've got some chicken breast that would be perfect for that recipe. They are so thick, so butterflying them is perfect. How long did you cook yours and at what temp?

Oh, what do you think about doing suasages in here. I have some frozen chicken sausages that would be tastey. Should I thaw them first and add a bit of water to the bottom?

Re: Air Fryer Recipe Thread

Chicagoan — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:34:33 GMT

@Tigriss.... Hi, I haven't made sausage in the AF yet, but, others in my FB air fryer groups have said they were really good in it. I think they did it on 360F for about 15 minutes watching them carefully and turning frequently. Are you on Facebook? There are great AF groups posting many recipes and comments and recipes are saved under "Files". My fav group on FB is "Cook's Essentials Air Fryer", tons of tips and pictures.

Re: Air Fryer Recipe Thread

Chicagoan — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 22:45:37 GMT

@qvc4 I totally agree with you! I also have made potatoes in the AF, they come out amazing. They are now my go to way of making roasted potatoes. I quarter peeled red potatoes, put in ziplock bag with olive oil, garlic salt and oregano and shake. Then cook in the AF, also good with bell peppers and onions. If your on Facebook, check out the AF groups such as Cook's Essentials Air Fryer group, great recipes, tips and pics. My AF is my new best friend, love that machine!

Re: Air Fryer Recipe Thread

Tigriss — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 23:09:18 GMT

@chicagoan I am on FB. I'll head over and check out the group. I just poped them in for around 360 for 4 minutes, then I'll turn and do another 4 minutes or so. If I don't do it like that, I'll forget to turn the darned things.

@Tigriss I have made sausages in my AF and they come out great but let me tell you some of my mistakes so you don't repeat them.

First off, I always thaw everything out before I make it in the AF unless it is something thin like a frozen chicken patty. When making the sausages, I wouldn't go above 350 degrees and please check and turn them often. I sliced mine up and ended up overcooking them. They were great out of the fryer but were inedible in terms of leftovers. I did not add water to the bottom of the container and clean up was no problem. If done properly, they are delicious.

@Chicagoan - fyi

Re: Air Fryer Recipe Thread

Tigriss — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 00:02:38 GMT

I got them out a bit a go. They were done, but not with the crispy skin because of the water in the bottom. Next time, I'll do them without the water and lower the temp to 350 to prevent any smoking. They were thawed in cold water, so I at least didn't make the mistake of cooking them frozen.

Sounds like another great marinate for my roasted potatoes!

So much easier in the air fryer than the oven! I love my Air Fryer!

Thank you!!
