I just got a small Chefman and I appreciate this video as I’ve never had one before I’ve also subscribed thank you
Oh good!! I hope you love it as much as I do, Kelly!
Just bought one and as I was leaving the store a guy saw my box and said don't you love airfrying I said I don't know this is my first purchase of one, he said you're going to love it, as a matter of fact, I'm here to buy a bigger one! I'll take tht as a good sign..lol
Aww haha! That is awesome! I hope you love it!
Thanks for the review!
Thank YOU! YES! I'm so glad you said this. I'm lacking so much counter space and it was all I had that day, but have since started using it on another counter! :)
What's the best way to empty the grease/fat that collects in the bottom of the basket? I just got mine today, and when I tried to pour the contents into a jar, they ended up pouring out through the vents that I didn't notice. Is there an easier method I am unaware of? Thanks!
My dad won this at the casino...I asked him for it cause it just happened to be my 10year olds Birthday and it was on her wish list...Game Changer! She can cook her own French fries...gardein fish sticks and gardein nuggets...they are soy and meat free and delicious
That's so awesome!!! I love that you love it too!
This was actually very helpful! Never had an air fryer- didn’t no it was a thing, recurved Chefmans brand new one and curious how it works- this was actually very very helpful and I appreciate the info! Well made video also! Well put together!
Aw, I'm glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for taking the the time to let me know and for being so kind!
They’re on sale at Target this week! I just got one and I’m watching this review, I have always wanted one so this one is my first one!
My daughter just received this air fryer for Christmas. I wish it had a basket that you can take out and shake your food and a pre heat setting. 👍
Thanks for giving tips to make wings, I literally just picked this up today actually. Was wanting an air fryer for a bit now!
Glad I could help! You are so welcome!
@@Fantabulosity Hello! I've just put the Chefman air fryer in my Target cart. After 11 months, how's yours holding up? Should I go for it!? Thanks! 🤗
I got the Chefman air fryer and grill combo. I can't wait to use it! I was looking for ideas, so thank you! By the way, I loved the mom look 😳 😂
Thanks for sharing... I got one for my mother for Christmas... Today is our 1st time using it.. 💜
That's exciting! I hope you/she loves it as much as I do!
She’s a riot... funny and honest......
Haha, thank you Richard!
thank you...I bought this exact fryer and never have used it ...until today. wish me luck.
Good luck!!
My mom just got this for me for Christmas! Really looking fwd to using for everthing especially chix wings! I would prefer a digital display, but that's no big deal, TIP: making sauce simmer on stove top in the a pot, then u can pour over when wings are done, much better that way, I do Frank's red hot, garlic powder, little lemon pepper seasoning, and use butter to cut the heat as needed! Delicious stuff, sprinkle old bay on before cooking too if u wish, good review, thank you
Ooooh! Thank you Joel. All of this sounds amazing and I'll definitely try that with the sauce!
Joel Hoffman My husband just bought me one for Christmas I think imma make lemon pepper wings tonight
Hello,
I have one, I watch your video, I didn't see you add oil.
Did you add oil?
Thanks,😊.
Hi there! Nope! No oil needed for these!
Prefer Ninja Foodi 2, two drawer air fryer. You can cook the chicken wings in one
basket, and fries or other things in the second basket.
Great review i will be subscribing!
Awesome, thank you!
Im just now living on my own and idk how to operate. Thank you
I just got one and I'm confused ... I made chicken wings and I was watching other videos and they removed the basket to pour out the juice in the bottom of the holder but this one isn't made like that. So do you not have to empty it out ?
There are juices in the bottom, oh yes. I pour it out after I finish cooking. I hope that helps!
i have same air fryer, is it normal that there is smoke coming up at the top ?
Hi dear...are u still using it. How is it working so far plz reply because i am thinking about to buy that
Hello! YES! I still use it (almost daily) and still love it. I hope that helps!
I just got mine and the roast I put in first cook had a lot of fat. The grease from it overflowed that bottom area and went all into under the basket. Is there a way to keep the fat from doing that with this unit?
I found that cooking the wings separately helps ....legs together and flats together...(legs takes longer)
Great to know, thank you!
Thanks for the review! I've been thinking about getting an air fryer!
You're so welcome! I didn't think I'd love it as much as I do, but I LOVE it!
@@Fantabulosity I'm waiting on my chefman. I did some BLACK FRIDAY online shopping and got several appliances for almost free. I can't wait to get familiar with mine. Thanks for the review
How do you get into product testing if you don't mind me asking I've been really interested in trying that but I don't know where to start and thank you for this video because I did not know how to work my chefman air fryer so thank you again for that
Hi Jennifer! I'm a blogger, and have been for many years, so over time I've really found that I enjoy reviewing products. Sometimes brands will send their products to me and sometimes I buy them myself and do reviews. :) I hope that helps!
I was wondering how do you get companies to let you try stuff I've been trying to figure out out please help
Hi there! I work with a lot of brands with my blog and UA-cam channel. If it helps, I have written a lot of blog posts about it here: fantabulosity.com/category/lifestyle/blogging/ :)
Do the instructions says do not wash your meats
Thanks for the information, I just got the 2qt. Hope I love it 👍
those wings look good I am gonna buy that machine
Oh good, I'm so glad, thank you!
@ Fantabulosity: how’s the taste compared to traditional oil frying?
Hi Bill! I'm not a wing connoisseur by any means, but I absolutely love them and prefer to cook them this way!
I bought the digital one for my house and it cuts my kitchen time in half
That's amazing!!!
We unboxed ours and turned the timer, but can find no way to reset the timer to zero?? Any ideas? Thanks!
I just spin it back to zero if needed!
Pat them? What do you mean?
Hi, thanks for the review. After 7 months, what are your on the fryer? Still recommend it?
Hi Mike! I do... I absolutely love this thing. I've become really fond of cooking bacon and hamburgers in it too!
I just used mine this morning (also Chefman) for the first time. Chicken wings, of course. I used to do about 30 wings at a time in the oven. I decided to give this air fryer a try after seeing it at Best Buy. I thawed 12 wings out, let them dry in the sink, and sprinkled them with "Slap ya Mama". This was my oven recipe and saw no reason NOT to use it here. The instructions said 20 minutes at 400° (my oven wings go at 375°). Well, at 20 minutes they didn't quite look like my oven cooked wings but I gave one a try anyway. Okaaaaaaay, but not really done to my liking. I put them back in for another 10 minutes. This time they were more like the ones I do in the oven. I might put more wings in next time, and start at 20 minutes. My 12 wings completely covered the tray without 'stacking' them. I have the smaller fryer because it's only my wife and me.
So far, I think I like this thing. Mine is the digital version - for $10 more. We have some leftover pizza that will be going in next. I really want to like this thing, because we have to get rid of 'something' to make room for THIS. We are at critical mass in our small house - ha. We'll see. Too bad I didn't see your video earlier because it would have made our decision to get one a little easier.
Btw, Sweet Baby Ray makes a wing sauce that will clear the hair off your kid's heads!
I thought I'd better update my comments. I ended up taking the Chefman back to Best Buy yesterday. It just seemed to me to be a reduced size convection oven which we have as an option in our big sized regular oven. I made up a batch of wings this morning the "old fashioned" way and I have to say, better than what I was able to produce with the Chefman. Nothing wrong with the 'air fryer' (which of course, is NOT a fryer) but I just didn't see the need to take up more of our already limited counter space. Plus, it was somewhat of a hassle to clean compared to just throwing away the parchment paper I cooked my wings on in the oven. Getting chicken bits out of that rack at the bottom proved to be quite the job too, at least if I wanted it to be 'squeaky clean'.
Thank you for letting us know the updates!
.New Subbie !! ...just wish ( unless I missed it) the break down of time signatures for overall recipe here. TY
Does the deep-fried smell come out into your kitchen or does it stay inside?
Edit: I have already ordered the 3.6 Quart one yesterday and wondering if the smell of frying is noticeable.
Hi there! When I cook bacon in this we do smell bacon throughout the house, but just bacon! No "frying" smell. I've actually had a lot of people walk in our house while cooking bacon in this, and say "oh my gosh it smells so good in here. Not like, burnt bacon smell... but like GOOD bacon smell." Haha. So I hope that helps!
@@Fantabulosity sweet. I can't wait to try it as it is coming on Tuesday. Thanks for getting back to me.
You bet!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. In case it's helpful, here are other air fryer recipes I made with my Chefman and swear by:

@@hanlin9389 hello I'm just wondering how you liked it
Can you make frozen pizza in it?
After a year of use, does it work good? Do you still recommend it?
YES! I still use it (almost every day) and I still love it!
@@Fantabulosity thank you
Thanks for this review! Did you ever try a whole bag of wings, if so how did that turn out?
Hi there! I haven't tried a whole bag of wings yet. But when I do, I'll be sure to come back and let you know!
Hi there! I'm just letting you know that I tried a lot more in this air fryer recently (around 30) so that may be a whole bag, depending on what size bag you get. It took longer for them to reach the desired crispiness that I wanted them to have! (I'd say a good 45 minutes, instead of the 30.) I hope that helps!
Would it have helped the smell to have washed them first?
I'm not sure. It's completely up to you if you wash your chicken! I've been told not to for a few reasons but definitely optional!
You shouldn't wash chicken.
Are they raw wings?
They were raw before I cooked them, yes!
Nice.. thank you for sharing, how's your air fryer after 7 months? Is it easy to clean? Thank you :)
Hi Christianne! I absolutely LOVE it still. I cook so much more in it.
Here are my favorite things and ways to cook in it...
Hamburgers: fantabulosity.com/air-fryer-burgers/
and
Bacon: fantabulosity.com/air-fryer-bacon/
Bought mine 1hr ago lol dang it I wanted digital. I’m the same I used phone timer 🤣 we’re spoiled
Haha!!! Yes we are!
did you have to add oil?
Nope! No oil!
Can you add the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking?
Hi there! You know, I haven't tried this, but I don't see why you couldn't. I'm sure it would heat it up nicely and possibly seal the sauce in to the wings a little more! I'd love to hear if you try it!
@@Fantabulosity I tried the sauce while cooking and most of it burned away.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I wish it would have worked for you!
I use that salt as well
Yay!!! I love it so much!
They stink because they're dead animal parts. 😝 Thank you for the review!
Haha!!!! You're welcome!
When the unit is new run it for 10 minutes before cooking with it.
It fell apart because you pushed the button releasing the tray and pan. Happened to me once, only once, learned my lesson
Hi Russell! I know what you're talking about, but it wasn't because I was pushing on the button. I thought I must have, until I specifically tried using it, making sure I wasn't holding the button and it still feel apart. Sadly it was a malfunction, but I love this Chefman instead anyway! :)
