Pro Tips for the Best Results

No Oil Needed

These cook crispy and golden without added oil or spray.

Shake or Flip for Even Cooking

Ensures the coating browns evenly and prevents soggy bottoms.

Toss in Sauce After Cooking

Keeps the breading crispy—don’t air fry already-sauced bites unless instructed on the packaging.

Use Foil or Parchment for Easier Cleanup

Especially helpful if cooking pre-sauced varieties.
