Tips from Atelier Airfryer
Tips for even crispier chicken!
✔ Use panko instead of regular breadcrumbs for an even crispier texture.
✔ Add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the flour for an ultra-crispy effect.
✔ Don't overcrowd the air fryer, otherwise the chicken won't brown evenly.
✔ Double breading: dip twice in the egg and breadcrumbs for a better texture.
Variation: Spicy fried chicken 🌶️
Add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the flour for a spicier version!
