Guilt-Free Frying and More... We all love fried food... Crispy fried chicken, French fries, coconut shrimp, chicken parmesan, spicy hot wings... the list goes on and on. Those tasty delights have become part of our every day diet. Until now, it was impossible to get that great, crispy-fried crunch and flavor without frying in deep fat or oil. Good News! The new Power AirFryer XLTM has changed everything.
