Why not cook your Christmas lunch in the air fryer?
It's much quicker and it frees up oven space for other bits and bobs...
If you're expecting your oven to be a little too full this Christmas, or you'd like your centrepiece main to be easier and quicker than a turkey, then we have these air fryer recipes for you.
Give our crispy roast potatoes, tasty sprouts or flavoursome stuffing balls a try if you'd like to free up some oven space. Or, if you find the prospect of roasting a turkey all too much, then our marmalade and thyme chicken is a doddle.
If you're not sure which air fryer to buy, then the GHI have tested lots of different ones so that you can pick the right one for you.
If you find the world of air fryers daunting, and you're not sure how to use one, then our experts go through the dos and don'ts of using your air fryer to expel any myths.
