💡 Pro Tips

  • Chill your shaped chicken sticks for 30 minutes before coating to firm up the protein structure and prevent the mozzarella from leaking during cooking.timing30 minutes
  • Double-coat using flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumbs to create a moisture barrier that prevents the cheese from breaking through at 320°F melting point.technique320°F melting point
  • Use panko breadcrumbs mixed with 25% grated parmesan for superior crunch because panko's irregular shape creates more surface area for browning.ingredient25% parmesan ratio
  • Preheat your air fryer for 3 minutes before cooking so the initial blast of hot air creates immediate Maillard reaction for better crust formation.equipment3 minutes preheat
  • Flip the sticks at exactly 7 minutes to ensure even browning on both sides while the internal temperature reaches 165°F safely.timing7 minutes, 165°F
