KFC is dry asscheeks so you probably got equal quality. If you really want good restaurant quality fried chicken you’re gonna have to fry it yourself. As much as I love the air fryer it’s gonna be 6/10 at best.

Tucky isn't breaded it's battered.

An air frier is just an oven.
Would you bake your breaded chicken in an oven? Certainly edible but no coparison to the pan. The breading needs the hot oil to really get brown crispy and delicious. In the oven it just gets hard, in the pan you get delicious maillard reaction products.

"air frier" is a terrible misnomer, it's not a substitute for a deep frier.

>>21474609 (OP)
Why did you think an air fryer would cook like a pressure fryer?

>buys frozen chicken
>tastes like shit compared to made from scratch battered and deep fried goyslop in sneed oils and msg
shocked I tell you, shocked

just buy a home grease fryer my guy, air fryers are the fast and "healthy" alternative to grease and oven cooking

KFC doesn't sell breaded chicken retard

>>21476139
Because chicken retards became pretty rare after the poultry intelligence awareness program.

>>21476103
bro he wanted KFC (chemical inject mold "food")

>>21476187
yeah and that's a proprietary, wont see that in stores, gotta go to the source

>>21476139
zing, looks like you are the retard here!

>was I scammed, /ck/?
yes

>>21474609 (OP)
why would you think an appliance would make boxed supermarket tendies edible? idiot

>>21476344
but I saw my local Wingstop using tyson

>>21476386
That's why their tendies suck

>>21476344
Fuxking Tyson. All their breaded chicken products tastes just like op described regardless of how you cook it. Mushy and borderline inedible inside.

>>21474609 (OP)
>somewhat crispy
More time in the air fryer

>gooey
Get better chicken from the grocery.
Or make your own if they are all shit.

>>21474690
Retard alert. An air fryer is a broiler element with a FAN cranked to high. Your shit ass oven doesn't have a fan running nonstop in it.

>>21474815
It does substitute, but it's not 100%. You do lose a bit, but also don't need to fuck about with oil, so it's a good tradeoff. Especially for stuff already fried from the store.

>>21476120
>made from scratch
Oh boy, get a load of this guy - he thinks goyslop sellers do shit from scratch and not reheat frozen premade pre-approved bags from the brand.

>>21476344
If you think Tyson was bad, Walmart made their own tendies that were even worse.

>>21476601
Nobody reads multi-replies like this, you narcissist. I lasted about 4 words before I got bored

>>21476601
I got some frozen ching chong gook chicken from Costco and threw them into the air fryer and they came out pretty good. Just get a good brand.

>narcissist
don't use words you don't understand the definition of.

>>21476616
Oh fuck off you desperado. What's next on your list of unimaginative responses? "projection"?

who makes the best frozen tendies and wings and stuff?

>>21476624
if you have an air fryer just get basic fresh wings and throw them in the freezer, you dont need a brand

Air fryer really is one of the biggest meme appliances of the this century so far. Like, the only thing it's even moderately good for is for dieters to make counterfeit healthy "bad foods" like chicken wings (alongside that horrible greek yoghurt ranch). Most people buy it for their ready to bake frozen snacks, but it's not really any better than a regular oven.

>>21474609 (OP)
>chicken is only somewhat crispy and the chicken itself tastes gooey
you undercooked it you retard
adjust the heat and make it cook longer

>>21477331
they're mostly for frozen/ready to bake shit, but a good air fryer is a pretty notable difference between it being less effort to load up, and the food usually tasting better
the only real utility an air fryer provides that you wouldn't get from something else is reheating pizza
blasting pizza for like 5 minutes is at least three letter grades above reheated microwave/oven pizza

Its not a literal fryer, dummy. Its an oven. Thats why its an AIR fryer, and not an OIL fryer.

>was I scammed, /ck/?
yeah, looks like you scored an extra helping of chromosomes lmao

I got the fancy Ninja air fryer and the frozen chicken tendies are actually comparable to KFC.
I mainly use it for cooking chicken thighs and they come out great.
Chicken breasts (non-frozen) come out quite rubbery, though.

>>21474609 (OP)
The cheap $30-50 made in china ones won’t cut it. You need to buy the extra fancy ones to get the results you want. Might as well get your moneys worth and find one with a 10 year warranty included.

No.
You’re just delusional and ignorant.

It fries with AIR, not OIL, dumbo. How the fuck can people be so retarded??

It's not the same at all. It doesn't "fry" anything. It's a tiny desktop convection oven. It's not a new concept, it's just having its moment. It's like the George Foreman grill phenomenon. It's like a white trashy sous vide hobby or something, lol. Except it's completely misunderstood because it's total moron incels like you who eat "nuggies" and "tendies" and are fat, lazy fucks who don't know thing one about cookery.
Absolute RETARD.
