why I avoided using my air fryer.
If you're anything like me, you resist the new trending kitchen appliances. For me, it's because of a few reasons. One of them is space! I do not like a lot of appliances on my countertops. It feels cluttered and doesn't allow me to think creatively or enjoy the cooking process.
There is a major downside to this…my hidden appliances tend to get forgotten and go to the appliance pit of darkness where they never get used and just take up space in my already limited cabinets.
My air fryer is one of these appliances. Gifted to me by my amazing mother who raves about the wonders of an air fryer and was kind enough to get me one for Christmas…or my birthday, I don't remember. But the point is, I didn't use it. Because taking it out and putting it away seemed too much of an inconvenience to use it at all.
Now this story isn't about my OCD tendencies with clear countertops, or about my mom's generosity in gifting me very useful kitchen items. But, about the fact that I have been SLEEPING on this incredible gift! I don't know why it took me so long to finally get it. But I am so glad that I did.
The convenience and perfection that it cooks chicken to is undeniably worth the effort of taking it out of the cabinet each use.
And I feel like it goes without being said that there are many many other applications for an air fryer that are not limited to chicken breasts.
I mean, c’mon, look at this juice!!
