air-frying
Crispy without oil
Air-frying is cooking food in a countertop appliance that circulates hot air at high speed, producing crispy results similar to deep-frying but with little or no oil.
The method works well for foods traditionally fried: air-fried chicken wings, air-fried french fries.
Despite the name, air-frying is closer to convection baking than actual frying.
