Best Things at Costco to Make in an Air Fryer

Why do we love this big box store?? First of all you get great deals on ALL THE THINGS right??!! You can pick up small (and large) appliances like these with no shipping and handling fee, and if there’s a problem their returns are so easy.

I found recently they offer a live chat feature online now too which is great, or you can contact the Costco concierge services technical support. For something like this I’d contact the manufacturer first though.

  • Yes you can order one of these babies online but a handling fee will apply for some areas like Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

Air Fryer Costco Rotisserie Chicken

Want to make an air fryer whole chicken?? Literally, it’s my favorite meal! It tastes better than rotisserie can you buy at the store I promise, and you can add any and all seasonings you want. If you want to cut it up into pieces we have directions for each one of those pieces too!

What are the best foods to throw in an air fryer?

I think meat has really been a game changer for me. Especially during the hot months you can get the same crisp result you would under bake and broil in half the time. These are our favorites though:

  1. Our air fryer chicken thighs have no breading but rather a sweet and salty dry rub.
  2. Costco chicken skewers in air fryer is easy. You can use our homemade Air fryer chicken kabobs timing and temp for those. Both are healthy choices with vegetables added on the skewers.
  3. Chicken legs in air fryer are probably my girls’ favorite for dinner.
  4. We share a variety of easy air fryer chicken breast recipes here. There’s even instructions for how to cook frozen chicken breast in air fryer too.
  5. On to the best air fryer chicken wings with a dry rub you’ll ever make!!

Well that would really depends on who you ask. Our family got our membership strictly to buy meat in bulk.  From there we began purchasing paper goods since it was a lot cheaper than at the grocery stores.

What are the best items to buy at Costco

  1. Chicken
  2. Ground beef
  3. Steak
  4. Toilet paper
  5. Paper towels
  6. Cereal
  7. Snack foods

Frozen meats are cheaper too, and come in handy when you’re in a rush. If you love Kirkland hamburgers here are instructions on how long to cook frozen hamburger in air fryer. A great tip if you forget to defrost them ahead of time. 😉

Best Frozen Foods for Air Fryer Costco

You can cook it all y’all. I mean if your kids are obsessed with hot dogs buy a huge box of them breaded there and use our air fryer corn dogs timing to get them just right. You can pair those with a few frozen mozzarella sticks in air fryer too.

Now on to some beef! I will tell you I don’t cook a lot of it and if I do I usually wrap it in bacon because well, why now??!!

  • I prefer good cuts that have less marbling to keep them tender. As you can see when you visit your local Costco store, they offer a wide selection.
  • Whether you’re using a New York Strip, T-bone, or Filet you should follow our air fryer steak instructions here.

Here is the best way to cook steak of all kinds with our dry rub recipe below.

You can also make steak in the Instant Pot but if you still want that crisp on the outside, try our Ninja Foodi steak and potatoes cooked all in 1 pot.

But first, you’ve got to make the best steak dry rub we shared with y’all last week. We even add this on pork chops because it’s so good.

Ways to cook steak in an air fryer

Air fryer chicken fried steak. These are made into finger foods of sorts so they could be served as a fun appetizer if you wanted, or dinner.

Crockpot steak and potatoes is great too if you’re a slow cooker lover. Grilling is great too, any method should reference our what temperature to cook steak chart to get it done just right.

You CANNOT visit Costco and not grab a few snacks from their frozen food sections!! I know you need a few quick meals in your pocket for those long nights when you’re stuck at the baseball field, or appetizers when friends come over.

For those crazy nights we make air fryer corn dogs or grilled cheese in air fryer. Even my kids can make those all by themselves.
