Chicken wings and fries
The Big Boss Air Fryer is a versatile appliance that can cook a variety of dishes, including chicken wings and fries. Here is a detailed guide on how to prepare these dishes in your air fryer:
Chicken Wings
Air fryer chicken wings are a healthier alternative to deep-fried or oven-baked wings, as they require less oil and have a shorter cooking time. The circulating hot air in the air fryer creates a crispy exterior while maintaining a juicy and tender interior.
Ingredients:
- Chicken wings (full wings or separated into drums and flats)
- Olive oil or vegetable oil
- Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper (optional: rosemary or Herbs de Provence)
- Optional dips or sauces: ranch dressing, cilantro lime dip, blue cheese, buffalo sauce, or your favorite BBQ sauce
Instructions:
Start with defrosted and patted dry chicken wings to ensure they get crispy. Separate the wings into drums and flats if they are full wings. Place the wings in a bowl and drizzle oil over them, then add your desired seasonings and toss to coat evenly. You can also add hot sauce to the marinade for an extra kick. Let the wings rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Preheat your Big Boss Air Fryer to 390-400°F for 2-5 minutes. Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching, and cook for 10 minutes at the same temperature. After 10 minutes, flip the wings and increase the temperature to 400°F. Cook for an additional 8-14 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispness.
Once done, remove the wings from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dips or sauces. You can also toss the wings with the drippings from the air fryer basket for extra flavor.
Fries
The Big Boss Air Fryer is perfect for making crispy and healthy fries without the need for deep frying. You can use potatoes or sweet potatoes for this recipe.
Ingredients:
- Potatoes or sweet potatoes
- Olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional dips: ketchup, ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or any other dip of your choice
Instructions:
Cut the potatoes or sweet potatoes into thin, evenly sized fries. Rinse the fries under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly. Place the fries in a bowl and drizzle with oil, tossing to coat evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste and toss again to season the fries.
Preheat your Big Boss Air Fryer to 400°F. Place the fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook the fries for 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once they are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and serve with your favorite dips.
Enjoy your chicken wings and fries, freshly cooked in your Big Boss Air Fryer!

Crispy salmon
The Big Boss Air Fryer is a versatile appliance that allows you to fry, bake, roast, and grill a variety of dishes. It is designed to help home cooks prepare healthier, guilt-free versions of their favourite fried foods. With its large capacity, you can cook a wide range of ingredients, from salmon fillets to vegetables and even cookies.
Now, let's focus on preparing "Crispy Salmon" using the Big Boss Air Fryer. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Ingredients:
- Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- Olive oil or avocado oil
- Lemon juice (optional)
- Salt (sea salt or regular salt)
- Black pepper
- Brown sugar (optional)
- Smoked paprika
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
Optional Ingredients for Serving:
- Rice
- Vegetables (steamed or air-fried)
- Salad
- Zucchini noodles
- Sweet chilli sauce or honey soy sauce
Instructions:
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This step helps to create a crispy skin and a beautiful golden exterior during cooking. If using skinless salmon, generously grease the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking.
- Make the Oil Mixture (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and lemon juice. Brushing the salmon with this mixture will add flavour and moisture to the fish.
- Season the Salmon: Sprinkle both sides of the salmon fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. For an extra crispy and subtly sweet flavour, you can also add a touch of brown sugar to the seasonings.
- Place in the Air Fryer: Arrange the salmon fillets in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece. For skin-on salmon, place the fillets skin-side down. This ensures that the skin becomes crispy while the top remains tender.
- Air Fry: Set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. For thinner fillets (around 6 ounces), air fry for 6 to 8 minutes. For thicker fillets, increase the cooking time to 10 to 12 minutes. The salmon is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, which you can check with a meat thermometer.
- Rest and Serve: Once the desired cooking time is reached, remove the salmon from the air fryer and let it rest for a minute or two. Serve it with your choice of sides, such as rice, steamed or air-fried vegetables, salad, or zucchini noodles. You can also glaze the salmon with sweet chilli sauce or honey soy sauce for extra flavour.
With the Big Boss Air Fryer, you can enjoy delicious, crispy salmon with minimal oil and maximum flavour. The air fryer's ability to circulate hot air ensures that your salmon achieves the perfect crispness on the outside while remaining tender and flaky on the inside.

Steak
The Big Boss Air Fryer is a versatile appliance that can cook a wide range of dishes, including steak. Here is a guide on how to cook steak using the Big Boss Air Fryer.
Choosing the Right Cut of Steak
When selecting a steak for your Big Boss Air Fryer, opt for a porterhouse or sirloin cut with a thickness of around 1 inch and a weight of about 1/2 pound. These cuts require less attention during cooking, making them ideal for air frying. Other suitable options include New York strip, ribeye, t-bone, top sirloin, and filet mignon.
Preparing the Steak
Before seasoning, pat the steaks dry and let them rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes. For seasoning, you can keep it simple with just salt and pepper, or get creative with a store-bought steak rub, a marinade, or a pinch of sugar for a caramelized crust. You can also add spices like smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper for a smoky kick.
Cooking the Steak
Preheat your Big Boss Air Fryer to 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the steaks in the air fryer basket, ensuring adequate space between them for even cooking. For a 1-inch steak, cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Adjust the cooking time accordingly for thicker cuts.
Serving the Steak
After air frying, let the steaks rest for 10 minutes before serving. For an extra touch of flavor, top the steaks with a pat of garlic butter. If desired, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to ensure it's cooked to your preferred doneness.
With the Big Boss Air Fryer, you can enjoy a perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender steak with minimal effort and cleanup.
