It's sort of difficult to predict how your specific food will perform but hopefully I can provide some helpful info here:
The transport boxes are designed to hold a steam table tray / aluminum catering grays - or could be used for non-greasy / cold food (bagels, sandwiches). We don't recommend direct contact for fried foods (or high moisture foods like lasagna or pasta) without a barrier (like a catering tray).
We do know that trapped steam and moisture is what causes fried food to lose crispiness and become soggy, and there is a little bit additional airflow if you left a catering tray uncovered inside the box vs the standard catering tray lid - but it's hard to say if it's enough airflow for the amount of time you're transporting the food.
If you'd like, you can call in (contact information above) and speak with a packaging consultant who might be able to further help you - or could help you order samples so that you could test it.
