    Chicken wings: I buy the store brand that is already flavored. I don't add sauce, as I like the way they come out.

    "Fryer food" like frozen fries, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, chicken fingers.

    I cook them first and then toss in sauce... sometimes I just eat them plain. So good!

    What don’t I cook in it?

    Seriously:
    Plain steaks
    Burgers
    Chicken sausage
    Brats
    Hotdogs
    Pork tenderloin with any kind of sauce: Thai peanut, bbq, Dijon & marmalade, or sweet pepper relish
    Chicken breast
    Breaded fish patties or shrimp
    Coconut shrimp
    Baked potatoes
    Fries (cut your potatoes into evenly sized fry slices and spritz -or not, your choice- with a zap of olive oil. I use 2 grams per 2 large potatoes)
    Grilled cheese sandwiches
    Halloumi (absolutely stellar in an air fryer btw)
    Tofu cubes

    potatoes or sweetpotato, just ad spices to them and toss them in the airfryer. I use no oil.
    I also cook tofu/veggi burgers.
    There are also a lot of vegetables you can simply prepare in the airfyer. Just add spices. Some good exaples are zucchine, aubergine, mushrooms...
    I also love springrolls in the airfryer.

    Everything! Honestly. Pork chops and chicken breast come out cooked to perfection. Just coat in your favorite seasoning (I love simple garlic and pepper) and cook. You'll wonder how you ever lived without one. Also agree with the above posters about "fried foods" like french fries, wings, eggrolls, etc.

    Potatoes! I have heard that turnips work well as fries too.

    frozen turkey patties, I think they taste great and cut the calories from fat that way!
