Title: Actifry 2 in 1 air fryer Greek chicken legs
Post by: N. Ontario Smoker on March 14, 2017, 11:12:32 PM
Had an all Greek meal tonight. Chicken legs marinated in olive oil, garlic, oregano, s&p and lemon juice/zest.
A Greek salad with homemade Greek dressing. Took twenty minutes to crisp the chicken because of the marinade. Delicious.

If you are sitting on the fence about an air fryer I would highly recommend getting one.

I just haven't decided which one to get. There are so many on Amazon to choose from

That chicken looks outstanding

I have had the Actifry for some time. I like it...and I have the Air Fryer XL, and - like it as well...

But, they are very different "fryers".

The Actifry instructions will tell you for most cooking to add 1 teaspoon of oil. And - the Actifry has a blade that moves the food around, so there is no need to remove and shake the basket as in the Air Fryer XL.
TheAir Fryer XL has fewer moving parts, and needs no oil ( per the instructions...but sometimes I will use a little on the food ;)...so - what's the difference in the two here?  :D ) But the shape of the basket may allow you to cook different things. The booklet that comes with it shows baking smallish cakes and so forth.

Again - I like them both, and they each do some things different than the other type. But they both definitely are worth having in your arsenal.

Looks good and also it looks like your Actifry Air Fryer has more capabilities than the standard air fryer.

I checked u-tube reviews and recipes for ages until I was sure of the one I wanted. I needed one that would cook a little extra to have for lunch the next day. This suited me fine. I would stay away from the 3 quart ones and go for the 5+ quart fryers.
