Which Do You Use More Often Overall: Oil or an Air Fryer?

I use both roughly equally. I like both methods.
Which have you found better for meat, especially chicken?

Don't have an air fryer.
Generally use spray oil unless using the wok.

When frying anything, I pan-fry, but the only thing I really fry is cheese or a grilled cheese sandwich.. But I do use oil to sauté, which I do several times a week.
The only thing I use my air fryer for is Red Baron personal pizzas.

No air fryer here. Olive or avocado oil work wonderfully for my needs.
You fry your grilled cheese sandwiches?
Not interested in air fryers and rarely fry food (except fried eggs). Most of my cooking is done in the oven.
Like many others here, I have no air fryer, and don't do an awful lot of fried food, anyways.
I own and use neither - no oil fryer no air fryer.
I had a friend show me their "air fryer" once. I didn't understand the point of it. It is basically just an oven. It bakes things. The only significant difference it might have is the amount of stuff you could bake at once and possibly the energy wasting footprint?

Pan-fry, yes.
Wait... am I supposed to consider putting a small quantity of oil in a pan and cooking with that to be "frying?" Because I kind of live and die doing my signature Asian-style noodle dishes in garlic-infused canola oil. When I think frying I always just think deep frying which you need special equipment and a ton of oil to do.
I have no oven, hence my interest in air fryers.
That would never occur to me as a thing to do!
I suppose it would be nice after soaking up the oil in the pan?
I would consider what you do frying too, yes—I don't think deep frying is the only form that qualifies as frying.
I have no idea what a "hob" is.
I actually use butter for grilled cheese rather than oil?
How do/would you make grilled cheese?
I don't know it's not anything I ever have although when I was a kid we sometimes did it
There is a nice place in my town that sells grilled cheese sandwiches, they do them in a kind of heated press, that they put some kind of oil on and then enclose the bread and cheese in the machine
It takes them five minutes for them to do them
They are nice, you can have them with jalapeños in them
