Using the right amount of breadcrumbs in your air fryer recipes ensures even cooking and perfect texture. Too few breadcrumbs, and your coating won’t crisp up properly. Too many, and you risk a dry, uneven finish. This is especially important for dishes like air-fried chicken or fish, where the breadcrumb layer needs to be just right.

Breadcrumbs also absorb moisture differently depending on their density. Fresh breadcrumbs weigh more than dried ones, so always measure by weight for accuracy.

The easiest way to measure 1.33 cups of breadcrumbs is by using a kitchen scale. Simply set your scale to ounces, tare it to zero, and scoop the breadcrumbs until you reach 5.3 ounces. If you don’t have a scale, fluff the breadcrumbs with a fork before lightly spooning them into a measuring cup. Avoid packing them down, as this will give you an inaccurate measurement.
