- 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.
