Notes

Each air fryer cooks a little differently so when you are turning them over halfway through cooking, check to see how crispy they are getting and add 2-3 minutes.

If you are cooking multiple batches, you will probably want to reduce the cook time after the first batch to a total of 4-5 minutes.
