Ingredients
4 frozen chicken patties (brands like Tyson® or Kirkland® work great)
Olive oil spray (optional, for extra crispiness)
Serving Suggestions:
Burger buns
Lettuce, tomato, pickles
Mayo, ketchup, or buffalo sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes. Prepare the Patties:
- Arrange the frozen chicken patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure the patties do not overlap for even cooking. If you prefer extra crunch, lightly spray them with olive oil.
- Cook the Patties:
- Air fry the chicken patties at 380°F (193°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and the coating is golden brown and crispy. - Rest the Patties:
- Let the patties rest for 2 minutes before serving them on buns or slicing them for use in salads.
Notes
- Extra-Crispy Patties: For a crispier texture, spritz the patties with oil and cook at 400°F (200°C) for the last 2 minutes.
- From Fridge (Not Frozen): If using refrigerated patties, reduce cooking time to 8-10 minutes.
- Double Layer: If using stackable racks, you can cook 2 layers of patties simultaneously. Increase cooking time by 3-4 minutes for the best results.
