I like xylitol or erythritol mixed with stevia. The X/E adds the bulk, while the stevia brings up the sweetening power, as they are less sweet than white sugar. They do have a slight cooling effect, but depending on what you're making, you may not notice it, and even if you do, it may not bother you. I've codked a lot with…

I know I'm a little late, but just wanted to respond to your chicken question. I love my actifry, especially for chicken.
