Hit 500 air fryer recipes tested in 6 months and most are garbage
I set a goal to try 500 different air fryer recipes by the end of the year. I hit it last week, and honestly 60% of them were either dry or bland. The crispy Brussels sprouts from 'AirFryerEats' and the chicken thighs from a blog called 'Crispy Kitchen' were the only ones worth repeating. Anyone else find most recipes online just don't work with real air fryers?

Have you tried adjusting the temp down instead of up? My buddy borrowed my air fryer for a week and burned everything because he kept following the recipe temps to the letter. Once he started dropping it by 25 degrees everything worked way better.

Honestly I used to be one of those people who thought you could just throw anything in an air fryer and it would come out perfect. But your post really changed my mind because I started paying closer attention and yeah, most of those recipes are total misses. The problem is these bloggers use industrial sized air fryers or they fudge the temps so the food looks good in photos. I have a smaller basket model and I've had to cut almost every recipe time by 5-10 minutes or bump the temp way up. The crispy Brussels sprouts you mentioned are legit though, I've made those three times now and they're the only thing that actually comes out like the pictures.
