Finally convinced my wife that the air fryer isn't just a fancy toaster oven after I made salmon filets in 9 minutes flat last night

I was the biggest skeptic when she brought it home, thinking there's no way it could beat my cast iron for crispy skin, but that salmon came out perfectly flaky with zero lingering fish smell in the kitchen, and now I'm wondering what else I've been wrong about has anyone else had a recipe totally change their mind about the air fryer?

My friend swore by hers after she made wings that actually tasted fried without the mess.

I used cornstarch in the dry rub and it got the skin super crispy. Tossed them in a mix of hot sauce and melted butter after. They came out golden and crunchy, not greasy at all. My kids couldn't tell the difference from actual fried. Took a bit longer in the air fryer than I expected, like 25 minutes flipping halfway. But totally worth it for the cleanup alone.
