Crispy favorites with a fraction of the oil, straight from the basket. 6 recipes in this guide.
Use the air fryer when surface browning matters and the food can sit in a mostly single layer. Small pieces such as salmon bites, fish sticks, potato wedges, and chicken tenders cook especially evenly because hot air can reach several sides.
For the best texture, preheat when the recipe requests it, leave space between pieces, and cook in batches instead of stacking. An instant-read thermometer remains the safest doneness check for chicken and fish; color alone is not reliable.
