Not impressed so far

I was really hoping that this would work. I tried the Buttermilk Chicken recipe from the cookbook (included). What a mess. The chicken stuck to the wire basket and all of the skin/coating fell off. While the chicken was moist, it was terrible looking and not tasty at all. This product takes up a lot of space on the counter so I was hoping it would be more than a very expensive French Fry maker. I am hoping that at least those will turn out OK (have not tried them yet). The unit was very difficult to clean even though some of the parts can be placed in the dishwasher. The basket part had to be cleaned again due to many spots that the dishwasher did not clean.
