• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in the air fryer for 3–5 minutes at 350°F to restore crispiness.
• Avoid microwaving — it makes the coating soggy.
Optional Variations:
• Spicy version: Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the glaze.
• Extra garlicky: Add roasted garlic or garlic powder to the breading.
• Use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
• Try the glaze on shrimp, tofu, or cauliflower for a tasty twist.
