Make Ahead. You can also make ahead your fish nuggets and then bake it in the air fryer once you are ready.
Seasoning. The seasonings on the air fryer nuggets can be replaced with the same quantity of Italian herbs or mixed herbs.
Breading. The quantities, for the breading is 480ml for each of the flour and the breadcrumbs, or in imperial that is 2 cups of each. With eggs you don’t need that much, but you can also beat in another egg if running low.
