Rant: My whole family thought I was nuts for trying to air fry a whole chicken
Last week, I saw a video from a cooking channel in Seattle where they did it in under an hour... I tried it on Sunday with a five pound bird from the market. I rubbed it with just oil, salt, and pepper, and it came out so juicy, but the skin wasn't as crispy as I wanted. Has anyone else tried this and found a trick for getting that perfect, all-over crunch?

Patting it dry first is key. My buddy tried it last week and said the difference was night and day with the crunch.

Try patting the skin dry before you rub it with oil.

Watched my friend go full lizard mode after a shower last winter. She'd slather on oil while still dripping wet, then wonder why her legs looked like cracked desert soil. I finally told her to use the towel first, just a quick pat. The next week she texted me a picture of her arm like it was some miracle. Skin was actually smooth for once.

The real trick nobody talks about is letting your skin air dry for like 5 minutes first before even touching the towel. Lets all that natural moisture settle in. Then a quick pat and oil goes on way smoother, no clumps or weird sticky patches.
