Homemade breaded foods

Breaded foods made from scratch at home, that is, with egg, flour, and breadcrumbs, are not suitable for the air fryer. The reason is simple: to get the crispy outer layer, you need a temperature shock, which is achieved by submerging the piece in hot oil. On the other hand, frozen breaded foods, like those sold in supermarkets, can be cooked in the air fryer. These pre-packaged items are designed to crisp up in an air fryer, making them a convenient and delicious option for quick meals.
