Fried Mushrooms and Zucchini Disks. I’m settled on a seasoned panko or breadcrumb breading and a simple marinara for dipping with the zucchini. Not set on the type of crust for the mushrooms (breadcrumb, beer batter, tempura, or, scaly flour), but the real question—one that I have never gotten close to an answer for—is what sauce to use as a dip for the fried mushrooms? Garlic mayo, rémolade, horseradish sauce, marinara, sweet chili—a lot of things are good, but there is nothing I’ve found so far that is definitely the best.

I used to deep fry chicken tenders (breadcrumbs-Parmesan crust) but I now air fry them. Best Chicken Tenders around.

I received an order for Trisol which was supposed to make things crisp.
-No instructions on the package.
-It said to go to the website. ‘
-Their recipe for Air Fried Chicken recommends EverCrisp and BatterBind S
Where is the Trisol recipe?
I ain’t spending 20 minutes searching their website when there’s no Search box.
I’m done with this company. I’ll look elsewhere for what I want, not here.

Hi William, Trisol can be used interchangeably with Ever Crisp – so replace 20% of your flour and proceed with your recipe as usual.

Black garlic ketchup?! Is there a recipe for that or a source to buy?
