TIL a cold air fryer beats a preheated one for breaded chicken

I used to always run my air fryer for 3 minutes before adding food, but last week I skipped it and my breaded chicken came out way crispier. Starting cold lets the coating set before the fan really gets going, so it doesn't blow the crumbs off the top. Has anyone else tried this with fish?

Cold start changed my fish game too, way less mess on the top rack.
