Using the standard breading method, flour, egg wash, coating, for frying produces a crisp golden crust on any meat you plan to fry. But will it taste the same when you fry it with an air fryer instead of in a pan? Well contrary to what air fryer aficionados may tell you, I do not believe you can replicate the flavor of pan frying by using an air fryer.
Not that doesn’t mean the final product won’t taste good, just that it won’t have the same crispiness but at the same time it also won’t be as greasy. Your food, your choice.
