Instructions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with garlic powder, chicken seasoning and pepper.

Step 2
Transfer the chicken to a resealable plastic bag and add the flour. Seal the bag and shake it to coat the chicken thoroughly.

Step 3
Insert the crisper plate into the basket and the basket into the unit. Preheat the unit by selecting AIR FRY, setting the temperature to 400°F, and setting the time to 3 minutes.  Select START/STOP to begin.

Step 4
Once the unit is preheated, spray the crisper plate with cooking oil. Using tongs, transfer the chicken from the bag to the basket. It is okay to stack the chicken wings on top of each other. Spray them with cooking oil.

Step 5
Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 400°F, and set the time to 20 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.  

Step 6
After 5 minutes, remove the basket and shake the wings. Reinsert the basket to resume cooking. Remove and shake the basket every 5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.  

Step 7
When the cooking is complete, remove the cooked chicken from the basket. Cover to keep warm.  

Step 8
Rinse the basket and crisper plate with warm water. Insert them back into the unit.  

Step 9
Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 360°F, and set the time to 3 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.  

Step 10
Once the unit is preheated, spray the crisper plate with cooking spray. Working in batches, place the  frozen waffles into the basket. Do not stack them. Spray the waffles with cooking oil.

Step 11
Select AIR FRY, set the temperature to 360°F, and set the time to 6 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin.  

Step 12
When the cooking is complete, repeat steps 10 and 11 with the remaining waffles.  

Step 13
Serve the waffles with the chicken and a touch of maple syrup, if desired.
