Air fryer tip: Spray any dry, floury patches with oil. It won't be as craggy as deep-fried, but it will be crisp.
Air fryer basics: Heat the air fryer for 3 to 5 minutes first. Don't fill the basket more than halfway. Brush or spray a little oil. Turn or shake halfway. Use paper liners with holes. Air fryers vary, so check a few minutes early the first time.
