air-fry
Hot wind cooking
Air-fry is to cook food by circulating hot air around it at high speed, producing results similar to deep-frying but with little or no oil.
The method yields crispy exteriors without submerging food in fat: air-fry the chicken wings for twenty minutes.
Air fryers are countertop appliances designed for this purpose.
