In the fast-paced modern life, the smoky atmosphere in the kitchen is gradually being replaced by simplification and convenience. As a "new Internet celebrity" in the kitchen world, the air fryer has quickly gained popularity with the labels of "oil-free cooking" and "fool-free operation", becoming the favorite of countless families. It not only saved countless kitchen novices, but also opened up a brand-new cooking world for food lovers. Next, let's step into the culinary world of air fryers together and explore those mouth-watering delicacies.


Crispy Fried Chicken: Recreating the classic taste of fast food restaurants
Who could resist the golden, crispy and fragrant fried chicken? Fried chicken made in an air fryer can be as delicious as that in fast food restaurants without a large amount of cooking oil. Cut the chicken legs into pieces and marinate them with cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, black pepper, minced garlic and other seasonings for 2 to 3 hours to allow the chicken to fully absorb the flavor of the sauce. After marinating, coat the chicken with a thin layer of starch and place it in an air fryer preheated to 180℃ to fry for 15 to 20 minutes. Remember to turn the chicken over halfway through to ensure even heating. As time goes by, an inviting aroma gradually wafts out of the air fryer. When the surface of the chicken turns an inviting golden color and becomes crispy and delicious, a healthy and tasty non-fried chicken is freshly prepared. Paired with tomato sauce or honey mustard sauce, take a bite and you'll find it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with juice oozing out, instantly bursting with happiness.


Sweet potatoes: A heartwarming delicacy in winter
In the cold winter, the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes on the street always makes people stop and linger. Now, you can easily replicate this warmth at home with an air fryer. Select sweet potatoes of uniform size, wash and dry them, and then put them in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 200℃ and the time to 30-40 minutes (the specific time can be adjusted appropriately according to the size of the sweet potatoes). During the baking process, the sugar in the sweet potatoes gradually seeps out, and the sweet aroma fills the entire kitchen. When the skin of sweet potatoes shrinks and can be easily inserted with chopsticks, it indicates that they are well baked. Peeling off the warm skin of the sweet potato reveals the orange-red, soft and glutinous flesh. Taking a bite, it is sweet, smooth and dense, warming both hands and heart, as if all the chill of winter has been dispelled.


Crispy Chicken Wings: The king of popularity at party tables
Chicken wings are regulars on party tables, and the air fryer version of crispy chicken wings is especially popular. Wash the chicken wings and make a few cuts on the surface to facilitate marinating and flavoring. Marinate the chicken wings with salt, sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices, scallion sections and other seasonings for more than 30 minutes. Put the marinated chicken wings into an air fryer and fry them at 180℃ for 10 minutes. Then take them out, brush a layer of honey on them, flip them over and fry for another 5 to 8 minutes until the surface of the chicken wings turns golden and crispy. The addition of honey not only makes the chicken wings visually appealing but also adds a touch of sweet flavor. When served on the dining table, the golden and shiny chicken wings, exuding a rich aroma, instantly became the focus of the gathering and were snapped up in no time


Delicious Fries: Health and deliciousness at the same time
French fries are a favorite snack for many people, but the French fries bought from outside are not only expensive but also fried in an unhealthy way. With an air fryer, you can easily make healthy and delicious French fries at home. Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly thick strips. Soak them in clean water for 10 to 15 minutes to remove the starch on the surface. After draining the water, dry it thoroughly with kitchen paper towels to prevent oil splashing during frying. Pour a little olive oil over the potato sticks, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir well. Spread the potato strips evenly in the air fryer and fry at 180℃ for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them over appropriately during the process. With a "ding", the crispy and sticky fries on the outside were ready. Homemade fries, without too many additives, are more reassuring to eat. Paired with tomato sauce, they make for a perfect snack.


The culinary journey of an air fryer goes far beyond this. From tender and juicy steaks, crispy and tender grilled fish, to sweet and delicious egg tarts and soft cakes, it can almost satisfy your imagination of all kinds of delicious food. Moreover, air fryers are easy to operate and clean, significantly lowering the threshold and difficulty of cooking. Whether you are a busy office worker or a cooking novice who loves food, you can easily make delicious and healthy dishes with the help of an air fryer. Why not pick up the air fryer in your hand and embark on your own culinary creation journey? Treat yourself and your family with delicious dishes one after another!
