Air fryer madness

If I cook chicken wings in the air-fryer it takes about 10 mins. Tonight I googled some actual recipes and they’re all advising timings like 12 mins each side PLUS another 6. I’m really confused. If I cooked wings for 30 odd mins in air fryer they would be incinerated.

I cook chicken thighs in air fryer for just 10 minutes and they're perfect. I do use a thermometer to check they are cooked.

Exactly. I just looked up 5 or 6 air fryer wings recipes and none were below 25!

Just cook it till its cooked! 25 minutes will be cremated!

I wonder if everywhere is just terrified of poisoning people so over-states it. It’s really odd. Same for all dishes really - salmon apparently should be cooked for 25 mins!!

I mean EVERYTHING goes in mine for 10 mins as standard!

If I had big frozen chicken breasts then I expect they would take about 25-30 minutes but wings, thighs and salmon are all 10-12 max.

Present for my eye roll

Lol they must be dried as hell. Even on the 170-180temps. I think sometimes people just make up stuff and never actually cook it

One of them even states the air fryer the recipe was tested on. Anyone have one and care to replicate it!!!

I think the discrepancy is the quantity of chicken - all those recipes are calling for a KG of chicken. I only cook about 4-5 thighs for the 2 of us.
