BW3’s and Frickers are two chains in the Midwest United States that have breaded wings and need to specify naked.

I prefer my wings to be unbreaded. Started ordering them that way at restaurants to avoid all the extra fat soaked up when they’re fried in oil, and continued it at home even with an oilless fryer just to save the extra steps and mess of breading. They still are plenty crispy.

Yeah the time savings is huge especially on weeknights. One of my favorite things to make is split chicken breasts. They still come out super juicy and with the crispy skin but in less than half the time it takes the oven to preheat and then cook.

I like to toast hoagie buns in mine. One of my favorites is to make shrimp in a skillet like shrimp scampi, take the shrimp out, and cook the sauce down more to thicken it while dicing up a bit of celery. Cut the shrimp if needed depending on how big they are, add the celery, bleu cheese dressing, old bay, bit of hot sauce, and the reduced sauce. Then cut a hoagie bun in half, scoop out some of the bread to make extra room, toast it in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp it, load it up with the shrimp mix and yum!
