    • Hi Norma, thanks for checking re temp fore AF. This was done in oil in a deep pan, so I will have to ask my friend if she tried it in the AF and once I hear back from her I will let you know.

    • Hi Norma, As promised, see below the update I received from my friend.

      I have not tried this in the air fryer because I don’t think that you will you’ll a golden crispy coating as you would by frying in oil.

      If you do try it in the air fryer then by all means please share the outcome with us as we would love to know as well!
