Realized my air fryer is basically a tiny convection oven after 3 years

I bought one in 2021 to make frozen fries and never thought about it again. Last month I tried roasting a whole chicken in it at 375 for 45 minutes and it came out perfect, crispy skin and all. Anyone else use theirs for full meals instead of just snacks?

My wife laughed at me for two years because I only ever made chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks in ours. Then our oven broke last winter and I started doing pork chops in there at 400 for like 12 minutes and they were better than the oven ones. The fan moves the hot air around so stuff gets that crispy outside without drying out, which I guess is the whole point. Now I do salmon, veggies, even meatloaf in it and the big oven only gets used for pizza and holidays. I was wrong about it being a one trick thing, it really is just a small oven that heats up faster. Takes some getting used to on timing though because everything cooks quicker than the box says.
