Threemoons:

Verdict RE Air Fryer Lid: Made fantastic wings, but....requires attention between initial broil/flip/broil and then airfry/flip/airfry. OTOH it did a great job on those really huge jumbo wings. I didn't even TRY RE a marinade and they still came out delicious--put em from the fridge into a bowl with garlic powder, corn syrup, and high-quality soy sauce and tossed before putting htem. in. Downside=cleanup is a monumental pain in the ass.
