Notes
We cooked just 4 air fried chicken drumsticks because it was just two of us for lunch and 2 each plus some coleslaw was a perfect serving size. Think this mixture does 4 so if you are making 8 then double the quantities and then if you are doing 12 then triple it.
I don’t measure out my flour as it’s a waste of time as it doesn’t need to be exact. Instead always have 3 bowls of the same size and make sure the flour bowl has roughly the same amount of flour as what the breadcrumbs bowl has. Slices of bread can differ in size, if you don’t have enough then add a little more to the blender. You can also use any bread you have in.
