    Not sure if anyone else said this already but the first online recipe uses a well-known UK supermarket mild BBQ rub, which probably means it's also cheaper/smaller chicken breasts (with added water) and thin bacon = less cooking time. Tip - if you have thick bacon, stretch it out with the back of a cooking knife before wrapping the chicken

    Hi .. I want to buy one air fryer but I'm choosing between Philips XL HD9270, COSORI Dual Blaze and Instant Vortex ClearCook .. we are family of 4 .. and this is the 1st air fryer we will have .. which one you could recommend it for me

    • @empoweredcooks

      I'd lean towards the Cosori Dual Blaze. I compare the clearcook and the dual blaze (with two others) in this video you may find helpful! th-cam.com/video/wHRB5tvLPUQ/w-d-xo.html

    There is no way their pancakes came out looking like that--they would have to fry them in some oil or butter in a skillet or griddle to look that good. They probably bought the frozen ones and swapped them out!

      what’s worse is that it’s from a pretty well known company here in the UK. (they sell anything electronic, including air fryers. in fact the iPad I’m using to type this comment is from them) we don’t have frozen pancakes here but I’ve bought pre-made pancakes found near the bagels and crumpets that look like that.

    I would steam the potatoes. They are less waterlogged and cook faster. First recipe, I think your kids would have liked anything rolled in that spice. I would say, roll a potato, a ball of hamburger, a pork chop, and sausage and they would like ALL of them.

    The first stuffed chicken should have dry ranch seasoning to go with mozzarella and bacon. Or a chicken seasoning with thyme and rosemary. The bbq seasonings I have used did not enhance the bland taste of chicken breast.
    Never thought of smashed potatoes in air fryer. Good idea. And salt, pepper, and good quality finely shredded cheddar cheese.
    I never cared for corn flakes on chicken. Panko can be seasoned for the same crunch and better flavot

    Just have to make a comment about Cosori. Ever since the notification came out about the recall, they have been jerking us around. They knew about this sooner than told to the public. Their information sent out about the color we chose, is really pissing me off. It was a chore to get the white air fryer from Amazon, so this is what I automatically told them. I've been waiting two months, then I get an email telling me it will take another 6 weeks or more! They knew about this problem, so I will never buy another Cosori product again!
