Hello, yes It can be used for just about any deep fried foods. Well worth the money.

I would kill & pluck it first, lol , yes the temp range is more than adequate to deep fat fry anything from Snickers to hard shell crabs. The cooking basket is plenty deep to cover the cut-up chicken.

Yes, but check your fryer quarts and bird size. A lot of oil. I use mine for wok and cast iron cooking. I hope this answer helps.

You can, but just add your choice of cooking oil! I heat up the oil a little at first. Be careful to pat the potatoes dry before putting them in the pan with the oil so they won't splatter, and watch over them as you fry. I have the Presto Electric folding fryer, and I have fried breaded chicken cutlets in oil, and they come out moist and delicious. I have also made French fries very successfully. Good luck!

Yes . It works great for items that a meant to be fried but cooks with any need for oil and taste good.. I try this with French fries and taste great without the oil.. Works great on chicken, Pork chops, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders.

Hi, you can fry fish and chicken but not a deep fry. I use a small amount of oil with the Oster on a medium heat and brown each side then reduce the heat, cover and cook until done. My one word of caution is the middle does get quite hot because of the element so watch the food close to the center. Good luck and Happy cooking! This is a fun little cooker and you will be so surprised how may meals it will provide ! So fry away ! Remember .... Easy with the oil and you will be fine. Have a great day!

I have only used this for in the oven dishes and on top of the stove dishes. Have not used it for deep frying, not sure I would. I have used it to brown onion, and meat. Hope this helps.

I use it for fish fillets,especially salmon. Have smoked cheese too,haven't tried chicken yet but sure it would work, could smoke nuts too. I would not try anything really big like a whole chicken or roast , would take too long. I bought it primarily for fish

I haven't tried fish in it because I like my fish pan-fried rather than baked or roasted. Chicken is AMAZING. I had actually gone off roasting chicken because my the time the skin was as crispy as I liked it, the flesh would be overdone and a bit dry. However, chicken in the Airfryer is delicious and fabulous. French fries cook really nicely whether they be the frozen type or homemade oven fries. I love the fact that it only takes 5 minutes to heat up and I don't have to heat an entire oven just to cook some fries for myself.

I've never used the basket to cook a fish, but as long as the fish fits on it, I can't imagine why it wouldn't work. I've used the basket to cook wings, chicken, ribs, roast, and tenderloin...and they all turn out great. I am planning to use it to cook salmon fillets, too, but haven't done it yet. I would definitely try it.

Yes you can. Wings and thighs are wonderful cooked in the fryer. The skin is crisp and the meat is juicy. I haven't tried cooking a breast so can't rate it's performance there.

I have not tried frying fish - yet. The key to this fryer is to allow the temperature to reach max, then control the quantity of food placed in the basket as the temperature gets pulled down quickly if the quantity is too much. Always allow the oil to heat back up after removing the food from the fryer before adding more.

Yes. We use it for anything we fry. We bought this because our power goes out often and we must use our genersaterr. The generater won't run our range so we use this for any meal.

Absolutely...although I only cook veggies and fish. But it has chicken setting on it. I really love it. Hope my answer helps u out :)

Absolutely.Wok cooking, stir frying, or deep oil frying. Just rinse the oil off, wash it, and hang it to dry.

I would think you could use it for that. The pan is sturdy and not lightweight and deep enough to fry without having the oil too close to the surface. Obviously not for a large batch. I will say I haven't tried it. Otherwise those who have used it for this purpose can probably answer more accurately.

Yes! I have used it to fry fish snd stir frys. But the oil gets hotter faster. So be careful using it. I love it.

It would work for deep frying better than shallow frying I think. It stuck badly when I tried to fry chicken with a half inch or so of oil.
