Notes

*Leftovers* Cool completely after frying before freezing. Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Keeps for up to 2 months. Air fryer: 190°C for 6-8 minutes to reheat from frozen. Oven: 200°C fan for 10-12 minutes to reheat from frozen. Avoid microwaving, it softens the coating.
