Thanks for all your input. I made chicken today using the recipe in the accompanying recipe book. It was great!
Now I am going to try the apple crisp!

I don't have an air fryer, but I've been curious about them. I like the idea that they cook faster and use less oil to make traditional, fried foods. But, like Petthefabric, I have very little counter space, so there's just no room for one. I had to laugh at the comment that their's was "too smart" for them. I also get frustrated with "smart" appliances.

The new convention range I bought came with an air fryer setting. The air fryer setting basically works like a convention setting but the fan blows harder so they get crisper. I tested this out. Indeed breaded chicken fingers and breaded fish stick bits came out crisper than when just heated in the oven on regular back and convection. So now I do things like sweet potatoe fries and the breaded stuff on the "Air fryer" setting on my regular stove. So if you are thinking about getting a new stove, think about getting one with that setting. I don't have the counter space for a separate air fryer or toaster oven so I am pleased with this option

very happy to read this, this morning. We just bought a new stove and it has the "Air Fryer" setting. We were not looking for this option but you know how it goes... with years (I am 75 yo) there is always something new that stores offer so we decided to go with it.
I will certainly be tempted to learn to use this.

Anyway now have one we can figure out. It has other settings such as bake, toast , roast.
So, what recipes do you use for your air fryer, toaster oven appliance ?

Glad you got one that's more user friendly. For the air fryer/toaster oven I've been loving crispy sweet potato fries just toss them in olive oil and your favorite spices then air fry until golden perfection.
