This recipe introduces crumb coating. The idea of using crushed crisps instead of plain breadcrumbs isn't a trick; it's a genuine flavour shortcut that brings seasoning and crunch in one step. The air fryer does the work that a deep fat fryer would normally do, with less oil, less mess, and less risk.
