Frozen store brand nuggets vs the fancy ones, air fryer made it obvious

I ran a side by side test last Tuesday with two bags of chicken nuggets. One was the $2.99 store brand, the other was a $8.49 organic brand my sister swore by. Same air fryer, same temp at 400F, same 10 minute cook time with a shake at 5 minutes. The cheap ones came out crispy on the outside and actually juicy inside. The fancy ones were dry and the coating slid off when I bit into them. I even tried the pricey ones again at 375F for 8 minutes, still worse. Told my sister she's wasting her money and she got mad, but I have taste buds and a timer. Anyone else found premium frozen food gets worse in the air fryer than the budget stuff?
