Notes

Storage: These are best straight from the air fryer while the coating is crackly. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 2 days, reheat in the air fryer or a hot oven for a few minutes to bring the crunch back, the microwave will turn them chewy. The Dijon mayo keeps separately in the fridge for about a week.
