Can you cook homemade battered fish sticks in the air fryer?
Yes, you can make these delicious fish sticks. There is no easier way to fry fish than using an air fryer because you will save oil, and at the same time, you will eat healthier. Therefore, to improve recipes, it is better to use this appliance instead of a deep-frying method.
How to cook homemade battered fish sticks?
It’s quite simple; the trick is how to season the fish. All seasonings should be applied before cooking as fish absorbs all the flavors in the meat.
A few recipes state to blend all seasonings with the breadcrumbs, but no flavor may be imparted to the fish, as the seasonings may remain on the surface. Because of this, it is entirely optional how you want to consume your fish, and you can make changes to this process.
Once the fish has been seasoned, prepare flour, and beaten eggs. You must coat the fish with flour and dip it in beaten egg.
After you have done this to each fish stick, spritz oil into the air fryer basket and put the fish sticks in. Set the time and temperature and cook the fish sticks.
