Default Air Fryer

Anyone have much experience using one of these things ? I’ve started saving the drumstick/thighs of the pheasants . Thought I might try some in the Air Fryer seasoned with some sort of Cajun or Italian seasoning .

I've tried several recipes in an air fryer with pheasant....it really drys it out. Nearly unbearable to eat.

Air fryers are good for french fries don't do pheasant legs. You'll have a baseball bat when you're done.

Why would anyone eat pheasant legs anyway, unless you’re actually starving. Sure, thighs are okay but the legs are just too sinewy.

Thighs are excellent. It’s the drumsticks that to me, aren’t worth the effort.

You need to confit those pheasant legs.

No experience with an air fryer Craig but we never discard the thighs, they are fabulous IMO. Just remove the bone, trim the yellow fat off and there's one little piece of cartilage in each that I remove. I hit them a bit with a Bass Pro plunger type tenderizer and after that you can fix them any way you like. Soaked in Zesty Italian overnight and then floured with KY Colonel (don't wash off the Zesty) and pan fried is a favorite of mine. Not a lot of yield in terms of meat but the juice is worth the squeeze to me.
