What are your best air fryer/oven recipes? (lemmy.world)

My parents got me one of them fancy countertop air fryer/oven things and idk what to cook first when I get it set up. According to the box, it does everything a normal oven does as well as air fries. It can hold two whole chickens or 1 frozen pizza. It came with a rack for things like toast and a baking sheet. I also have a bunch of pans and stuff that I was given when I got my house that I've never used.

I don't know much about actually cooking food other than chicken should not be medium rare and that the cereal goes before the milk.

My best tip for air fryers is to use them for the second fry of foods that are double fried. Egg Rolls, Karage, Orange chicken, etc, honestly, The double fry method isn't just for Asian food, it takes anything where crispiness is desirable to the next level.

Do the first low fry as normal, then use the air fryer for the second high-temp fry. You don't have to worry about overcrowding as much, plus everything will be less greasy. The whole point of the second fry is to remove moisture and the air does this just as well as the grease.
