6–8 mincook time

Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Arrange in a single layer with space between pieces — air needs to reach every side.

Air fryer parchment liners — Keeps sticky foods (wings, cookies, cinnamon rolls) from welding to the basket and makes cleanup a 10-second job.
Oil sprayer / mister — A fine, even mist crisps breaded food without soaking it. Bottled sprays with propellant can damage nonstick coating.
Silicone-tipped tongs — Flip food without scratching the basket's nonstick surface.
