Years ago John and I attended a cooking party or show or not sure what to call it, I just know we both had to be there so it didn’t sound cheap.  You’ve had to attend those.  Vacuums.  Beach vacations.  Sharp knifes that can cut through a can (because you know we are always fumbling through the junk drawer looking for something to cut up our cans with).

Cookware.  Great. We hadn’t been married long.  We certainly didn’t cook.  And no way did we have enough money to buy expensive fancy cookware.  But then he made the chicken. That man’s chicken was soooo good.  And it tasted fried.  But it wasn’t fried at all.  That man..oh that man. And his chicken.  We bought the whole set just so we could have that chicken.

 


And 25+ years later when I got my Air Fryer that was the second question my husband asked.  The first? Will it make bacon?  And second?  You guessed it..will it make That Man’s Chicken??

  1. Looking forward to delicious SP recipes😊

  2. Hi Kelly, I recently bought the power air fryer xl and have used it several times. I happen to see your website and I am glad to see that there are sp values to the meal you presented. I am looking forward to seeing more recipes and the sp values to it. So far I have cooked boneless pork ribs, fries, and chicken burger. But do not know the sp value to it, so I have been guestimating the sp based on the amount and content. If you have a list with the sp value of foods cooked on the air fryer, that would be very helpful. thank you again, this is great!

    • Great! Keep up the good work. Have you joined the Weight Watchers Air Fryer group on Facebook? Great ladies and good ideas including Smart Points 👍🏼

  3. Wait, will it make bacon? ha!
