Fried Chicken Wings
These crispy fried chicken wings are lovely and juicy inside. This recipe works so well because the wings are chilled before frying, which gives them extra crispy skin. I coat them in Buffalo sauce and they taste absolutely wonderful!
Air Fryer Bell Pepper Poppers
When you want an appetizer, try these air fryer bell pepper poppers. Not everyone can take the heat of jalapeño peppers–no worries, though! Use brightly colored mini bell peppers, fill them with Boursin herb-flavored Gournay cheese, and add just a little piece of bacon to the top. Air fry in a single layer, cooking in batches, depending on the size of the air fryer.
Party Pizzas
These little pizzas are super easy and make the perfect appetizer. They are little pizzas, made with sausage, cheese and a bit of hot pepper sauce on cocktail bread. Men especially seem to like its hearty flavor.
