Ingredients Needed
- Frozen Chicken Breasts (Breaded): Use breaded chicken for the best flavor and texture.

- Maple Syrup: The rich and sweet flavor of maple syrup adds a delightful contrast to the savory chicken and biscuits.

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 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.
Assemble the Sandwiches: To assemble the sandwiches, split the baked biscuits in half. Place a piece of cooked chicken between two halves of a biscuit. Drizzle with maple syrup and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches warm, with extra maple syrup on the side for dipping if desired. Enjoy as a delicious and satisfying meal for breakfast, brunch, or anytime!
Recipe Variations
- Breakfast Chicken Biscuit Recipe: Add a slice of melted cheddar cheese, or scrambled eggs, atop the crispy chicken and sandwiching it between the warm, buttery biscuits
- Hot Honey Chicken Biscuits: Add a drizzle of spicy honey and sandwiching it between two fluffy biscuits, creating a perfect balance of sweet and heat.
- Chicken: Consider swapping out the breaded chicken for grilled or blackened chicken breasts
- Biscuits: Try using different types of biscuits such as cheddar, my recipe for Air Fryer Thyme Biscuits, or jalapeno for added flavor and texture.
- Toppings: Try toppings like avocado, cooked air-fryer bacon, or sriracha mayo.
Best Air Fryer Chicken Biscuit Sandwich Recipe Tips
- Space Out the Chicken: Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each piece.
- Flip Halfway Through: To ensure that both sides of the chicken breasts are evenly cooked and crispy, flip them halfway through the cooking time.
- 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.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve the chicken biscuit sandwiches immediately after assembling.
