Loving My Air Fryer!

A few years ago, everybody was going nuts over a new phenomenon called an air fryer. This appliance can achieve the look and texture of deep fried food in a fraction of the time and using no oil. Sounded too good to be true. Even though I was tempted, I decided to not buy one because I didn't need another appliance on my counter.

My best friend, Towanda, is an avid thrifter like me and found a brand new air fryer at her local Goodwill. She had just used her air fryer the next day before and was telling me how much she loves it. I was excited when she told me she picked it up for me and it was only $20.00. Even before I got the air fryer, I was compiling recipes to try.

The first recipe I found was for extra crispy chicken wings. The instructions seemed very easy and I didn't have to marinate the wings. The secret ingredient to keep the crispiness is a sprinkle of baking powder. I tossed the wings in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. They came out perfectly crispy and flavorful.
