Hi Laurie, I just wanted to comment that I’m so happy to have found your site. You have one of the best air fryer sites I’ve seen with some really great down-to-earth and uncomplicated recipes. I just bought my air fryer and there’s a learning curve involved but I’m getting there, lol. I’ve been busily collecting recipes to try and I plan to make your Teriyaki Chicken next….I just know it will be great. Perhaps I should have commented AFTER I tried the recipe but I wanted to pop in and thank you for the site and say “Keep up the good work!” It is very much appreciated. 🙂
