Deep Fried Deviled Eggs - in the air fryer

Fried Deviled Eggs are a unique way to make this delicious family-favorite appetizer! I had these in Atlanta - the egg whites are breaded and fried - the filling is topped with bacon and hot sauce. I made these Fried Deviled eggs in the air fryer because it makes them a little healthier (and tastes even better than the originals)!
