My husband bought an air fryer after seeing it on television. We use it at least twice a week now! The chicken recipes that we have tried are especially good because of how moist the chicken remains. We started a low-carb diet and did not want to use bread crumbs, so we tried almonds. It's become a favorite. —Pamela Shank, Parkersburg, West Virginia
