My mom told me to put a little water in the bottom of the air fryer basket for chicken thighs

She said it would stop the fat from smoking up my apartment. I tried it last night with some bone-in, skin-on thighs. It worked, no smoke at all, but the skin came out totally soggy and pale, not crispy. I mean, I guess it solved one problem but made a worse one. Anyone have a trick to stop the smoking but still get that crispy skin?

So you traded smoke for soggy skin? Classic mom advice fail.

Ugh, classic "solve one problem, create another" move.
