Does this air-fry french fries, chicken wings like in a fryer but with much less oil??

The Deni 10400 Quick-N-Easy oven does an excellent job air-frying foods. It's okay to lightly coat french fries with cooking oil before baking them, but it isn't necessary. They get crispy with or without oil. Chicken's the same way too. However, if I use skinless chicken, I lightly coat the pieces with oil or use some kind of breading so it doesn't get too dry.

Yes! I've chopped up a potato and sprayed the slices with olive oil cooking spray and put them on top of foil. It worked nicely!

I know what you mean. I LOVE this fryer though. It cooks everything perfect.If I am going to deep fry a chicken, or Turkey, I have a full size deep fryer. This makes the best chicken tenders and French fries, and the clean up and storage are GREAT. I have had this fryer for over two years, no problems, no mess, and from past fryers of this size, it is the best.

Never used it for frying, just broiling.Since I wrote the review my unit quit working so I sent back,I believe at their expense.New unit also went out and I gave up.It cooks the best chicken that I have ever cooked and I loved it but it just clogged up the light socket I guess with the grease released.I feel like an addict because I still think about ordering another.It has to work longer for others but I had bad luck.

It doesn't use any oil. It's fast to cook and the fries come crispy. I've bought it. It's great!!!

It depends on what size of item or items You're frying. Your best bet is to fill it with Water to judge the amt of oil you need to Use

I really like this unit, it works great, frys like a champ. Make sure you use a thermometer to reach the proper heat, which I use 170-190 for my frying chicken, fish, & French fries. The drain is large enough for the cooled oil to drain properly, the heat element raises up so you can remove any large particles or peaces. I use a towel in the floor underneath. Cleaning is a project but it's quite rewarding when I cook for large groups. It makes fried foods crisp, and golden brown. I keep it clean when not in use, and cover it until I need it again... I love it!!!

I have only used it to cook chicken wings and legs. I did not use oil, and they taste good.

Definitely, I always remove the basket to fry chicken parts, onion rings, hash brown patties and fried green tomatoes. Wonderful fryer, best I've had and believe me I've had all the FAMOUS CHEF Ones and they can't hold a candle to this one.

The instructions warn you not to fry anything in this pot. I typically take warning labels as a challenge, however, and proceeded to fry a turkey in it without any problems. I think wings would be fine. Just make sure your oil isn't getting too hot and the chicken is dry before you drop it in and you should be fine.

Depends on how deep your oil is. I'm a shallow-fryer; meaning I only use about a 1/4 inch of oil to fry my breaded chicken. If you're a deep-fryer, you might want to look for something with higher sides.

Basically yes. Oil must cover at least half of chicken piece being fried tho so when you turn it, both sides fry/cook evenly.

I think that depends upon what you are frying and how long the frying time takes. Example would be if you are frying "Country Fried Steak," that may degrade the oil faster due to fat/juices in the beef. On the other hand, frying "Tempura Zuccini" would not breakdown the oil as fast.

Absolutely not. There is no oil. At most I spray just a little garlic infused oil lightly on my fries. The timing is practice. I love mine. I don't order restaurant sweet potato fries anymore I make my own from frozen. Delicious

Absolutely. I've made them. In less time than traditional deep-frying -- and with no oil.

I haven't done wings but you can use it for anything you would like to fry we have done turkey, veggies and venison cubes. You can place displace the chicken wings with water to see how much oil you would need to cover the wings. Never go past 3/4 the way full. Make sure your pots and wings are dry except for the coating you choose.

No, you could only put certain amount of oil, and that's is not deep enough to fry whole chicken.
