gotta be, no steam in sight and it would take a lot to move it like that

Just swapped my V8 for a Dino nugget. Energy problems solved.

Steam is invisible. What people think of as steam is actually steam condensing once it hits colder air.

Imagine looking oven and it's clear, then you open oven and a big bellow of "steam" rolls out, as the steam hit the colder air in the room and condenses to tiny tiny droplets which then evaporate.

You have to assume no resistance. Then it works.

grease on the pan? The loose breading is acting like marbles on a freshly polished basketball court?

Steam wouldn't be visible in an oven. Steam, as in water vapour is invisible, what you see above e.g. a boiling pot of water is steam condensing into water droplets. Colloquially both are called steam, though. But inside an oven thats hotter than the boiling point of water, the steam wouldn't condense.

In any case, in this instance it's likely the air fryer fan, not a steam jet causing the spin. Dino nugget crumbs aren't that air tight as to only let steam escape through one hole.
