      An "air fryer" is just a small oven

      • Candeal on 08/12/2025 - 10:21

        True, just a windy one..

    Anyone found a really good chicken salt? Ive tried several brands but not quite the same

    • Kaise on 06/12/2025 - 14:53

      I was on a quest for this years ago.. I concluded the good ones aren't sold in supermarkets.

      • shegeloaf on 06/12/2025 - 15:03
        +2

        That is true. No super market sell you the good stuff.

        I will start trying butchers, but I see most chiken salt products are just added parika or garlic.

        • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 16:07

          thanks good idea

          oh i think red lea uses paprika also

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 16:06

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 16:09

        hehe thanks, i like the logo

    • Gunnar on 06/12/2025 - 15:45

      Not chicken salt but try a mix that’s half regular salt and half msg (chicken salt originally had msg in it)

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 16:09

        oh thanks

      • gyrex on 07/12/2025 - 12:31

        Just add MSG to Mitani and Nice n Tasty and you've got the same stuff as the original chicken salts used at chicken shops.

    • Magnastar on 06/12/2025 - 15:51

      I use this stuff

      https://www.shanez.com.au/product-page/kentucky-style-chicke…

      But they’ve got other chicken salt types but I’ve not tried them.

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 16:10

        oh wow didnt even know those kinds chicken salt existed thanks

    • Guy Incognito on 06/12/2025 - 15:55

      I like this one, can be had cheaper from Costco - https://www.amazon.com.au/NICE-N-TASTY-Chicken-Seasoning/dp/…

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 16:13

        thanks, im pretty sure that brand near the 2000s was in like a different way smaller size packaging with different sprinkle holes. but not 100% sure, it had a similar chef logo

        but yes i had tried maybe years ago from costco still didnt finish it lol, i put it somewhere

      • gilbarc on 06/12/2025 - 17:14

        This is the one a lot of chip shops use

        • ATTS on 07/12/2025 - 01:12

          Great i gotta try it then

        • ATTS on 07/12/2025 - 01:13

          Insider information? Lol

        • serpserpserp on 07/12/2025 - 08:37

          I've never been to a chip shop. What one's are you referring to?

    • fatsobasto on 06/12/2025 - 16:51

      Try Shanez kentucky style chicken salt found on Ebay. Delicious and a little bit like KFC's.

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 17:19

        Oh nice thanks

      • HappyPants on 06/12/2025 - 22:13

        In FatsoBasto I trust 🤩
        Thanks mate 😁

    • AlienC on 06/12/2025 - 16:59

      I conceded to the Nice n Tasty one.. the Anchor one I tried this week and it is not for me.

      I think the Mitani one is ok also but have not had for awhile.

      But yeah plus one to Nice N Tasty for me.

      • ATTS on 06/12/2025 - 17:18

        Oh thanks i found nice n tasty average for som reason, i remember it was quite large and on clearance

        • AlienC on 06/12/2025 - 17:32

          Yeah it is average for me also. Anchor I did not like but the packaging looked like it might be alright but I rank it worse than Nice n Tasty. I can't remember if Mitani or Nice n Tasty was better will have to get some maybe this week or next.

    Spuds coming down a little in price again… they were the same price in coles last week, not too bad as a quick pre-made side if you prefer canola oil over olive/duck fat, skin on is decent.

  • spock on 06/12/2025 - 15:39

    I find these hollow mostly inside not much potato.i prefer the bluebird range much more .

    Tried these a few times but never got a good result in the air fryer. Even worse in the oven.

  • shane23 on 06/12/2025 - 15:49

    the best one is vegeta always a hit at the table

    • fantombloo on 07/12/2025 - 09:51

      I cook the chips for a few minutes so they're damp from being thawed out, then add the Vegeta, then continue cooking - that way it actually sticks to the chips, dont usually need to add anything after they're cooked.

      • HappyPants on 07/12/2025 - 10:01

        This works really well. Wait for them to thaw out, then shake chips vigorously in a container or saucepan with a lid so that they are "roughed up" then add your seasoning. Then cook.

        • fantombloo on 07/12/2025 - 10:06

          Yep I do this but all in the air fryer basket. Also sometimes I'll hit them with a mist of used frying oil before adding the vegeta - it sticks even better plus the oil adds extra flavour.

    Bought the steak cut fries yesterday they aren't that great imo, don't really crisp up at all would just get the normal fries that Mccain sells.

  • DMFD on 06/12/2025 - 16:02

    Branding them as air fryer chips because people dont know other chips work too!

    • rodericb on 06/12/2025 - 17:59

      Ha ha yeah like the various Panadol versions a few years ago - back pain Panadol, period pain Panadol etc… they were all just the same thing but cost more than the plain stuff…

      • DMFD on 07/12/2025 - 22:55

        I know. I used to watch the chasers war on everything and the checkout =>

  • ATangk on 06/12/2025 - 17:22

    I tried this, its really good for 10 minutes, though its best if you do a bit more and really make sure you dont overload it. Skin on is excellent.

    • luminousfox on 06/12/2025 - 22:18

      I have an older style Kmart air fryer with the rotating cage and it usually does chips great with whatever suggested time, just had these yesterday and today and found to get them to a good point it was 20 minutes instead of the suggested 13, wonder if they are different in some way cause they're not cooking very fast

      • ATangk on 06/12/2025 - 22:35

        I've found those are indirect heat which means things just take longer in general.

      • Grazz989 on 06/12/2025 - 22:42

        I've had the rotating cage models and the standard basket ones, and man, the basket models are always so much better. You've just gotta make sure to toss them once or twice about 2/3rds through.

  • revheadgl on 06/12/2025 - 18:10

    Half serious comment. Tried the steak cut ones once, but if you have false teeth, put them in before eating these chips. They have sharp ends that crisp to a knife like edge:)

  • ashftc on 06/12/2025 - 18:55

    Aldi thick cut fries turns out pretty decent in air frier.

  • Agent Q on 06/12/2025 - 19:20

    I have tried these and would not get them again. They take longer to crisp up and arent as nice as say Mccain's beer batter fries.

  • Enterz on 06/12/2025 - 19:20

    Did they just slap the words 'air fryer' on some normal chips to get a sale or are these in some way different to oven fries?

      Marketing

    • nickvdk on 09/12/2025 - 18:00

      While its possible they're the same chips just packaged differently, for them to get repeat customers and profits, McCain would have to differentiate the taste. My guess is they add more oil and changed the coating so they crisp better in the air fryer because the default instructions for other chips is to fry them in oil.

  • buddy03 on 06/12/2025 - 19:55

    I had this and it was nasty. Tastes like dry cardboard.

  • bogstation on 06/12/2025 - 21:05

    These are not salted which is odd. Bland. You have to coat in oil and salt before cooking. They are ok if you do this. I think they make the WW one.

  • Oysters on 07/12/2025 - 10:12

    Maggi Rich gravy mix is pretty good with chips.

  • Zorrobus20 on 07/12/2025 - 17:39

    $2.90 is a good price. I like these chips. Except the rotten black bits at the end, and in the bottom of the bag.
