The Magic of the Fake Fry Technique

The absolute star of this recipe is the 'Fake Fry' technique. We swap the heavy deep fryer for a brilliant crust of cornstarch and baking powder. By lightly misting the bites with cooking spray and baking them at high heat (BBQ, oven, or airfryer), the baking powder reacts. The result? An airy, explosive crunch that's indistinguishable from actual deep-frying. Less fat, no oil splatters, but that perfect crisp.
