    Quick dinner recipes

    We all want to sit down to a homemade dinner like fajitas on the griddle. These quick dinner recipes can be done in the air fryer, griddle, and even in the BBQ or smoker. Chicken drumsticks in the air fryer can be done quicker than waiting for food to be delivered. If you are willing to spend a little more time you can use the BBQ or smoker to have crispy chicken wings done in under an hour.
