00:00Air fryer or convection oven?

00:02Which makes food the crispiest?

00:04We put both to the test using chicken tenders, potatoes, and broccoli.

00:08The convection oven potatoes were beautifully cooked, super soft on the inside.

00:13These are the air fryer potatoes.

00:15They're still not that crispy, but there's a definite crunch when you kind of like get

00:20into them.

00:21They're super tender on the inside.

00:24For potatoes, the winner is the air fryer.

00:27The convection oven broccoli got a lot of color on it.

00:30It looks burnt.

00:31It doesn't taste burnt though, and the florets have a lot of crisp, crunchy, crackliness to

00:37them.

00:38Okay.

00:39Crispy.

00:40Unlike the convection oven roasted broccoli, the crispiness is 360 because the air from the

00:46air fryer was coming at it from all directions, and you can really taste it with the broccoli.

00:51The winner is the air fryer broccoli.

00:54This is the convection oven chicken.

00:57Really crispy.

00:58I will definitely give it that.

01:00It's a little dry though.

01:02If your objective is crispy, it's definitely there.

01:05If you're looking for a crispy as in like a fried sense, it's not quite hitting that.

01:10This is the air fryer chicken tenders.

01:12They're super crispy actually, and they're still really juicy on the inside.

01:17The air fryer chicken tenders is the winner.

01:20The air fryer might be the way to go.
