Dredging the chicken involved dipping it in an egg mixture and the flour mixture. Lucien Formichella for InsiderThe dredging process went well, though I definitely should've made more. It was relaxing to drop the chicken into the flour mixture, then the eggs, then back in the flour. Lucien Formichella for InsiderAfter putting the chicken in the air fryer, I genuinely wondered how the tenders would turn out because Popeyes chicken has such a distinct flavor. I left the second precisely as it came out of the bowl, figuring more of the flour mixture would stick to it.

London CNN —The prices of vinyl records will feed into UK inflation statistics for the first time since 1992, highlighting a surge in their popularity among British consumers driven in part by Taylor Swift. UK inflation has slowed from 11.1% to 4% but remains above the central bank’s 2% target. LPs — which dropped out of the UK inflation basket more than three decades ago, owing to the rise of CDs and cassettes — have made a huge comeback in recent years. Last year, 6.1 million vinyl records were sold in Britain, the highest number since 1990, according to data from the British Phonographic Industry, an association of UK record companies and labels. Air fryers, rice cakes reflect healthier habitsOther new items in this year’s inflation basket highlight the wider adoption of healthier lifestyles.

You're overcrowding the basket of your air fryer. Food won't cook evenly if it's too crowded. iStock / Getty Images PlusThough it's tempting to place all of your ingredients in the air fryer at once in hopes of quickly reheating or cooking your food, you really want to avoid overfilling the air-fryer basket, said Byron Puck, chef at Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. "Since it functions as a convection oven by rotating hot air around the basket, you want to give room for each ingredient to have this air hit it on all sides," Puck told Business Insider. He said putting too much food in the basket could have a negative impact on the quality of your finished dish because some of the items in the basket could end up becoming soggy instead of crispy.
