How To Make Air Fryer Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Cook the Chicken: Place the frozen breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set cook time for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time for even browning.

Air fryer set to the appropriate temperature with chicken cooking inside.

Air Fry the Biscuits: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and set it aside. Place the prepared biscuits in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each biscuit. Air fry at 325 degrees F (163°C) and set cook time for 8-10 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Best Air Fryer Chicken Biscuit Sandwich Recipe Tips

  • Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts.
  • Customize Toppings: Get creative with toppings and sauces to customize your chicken biscuit sandwiches. Try adding sliced cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, or your favorite condiments for extra flavor and texture.
