Notes

For a keto-friendly version, omit the panko breadcrumbs and ensure your buffalo sauce is sugar-free. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. These can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes to restore crispiness.
