How To Cook Frozen Orange Chicken In The Air Fryer

• The first suggestion that I will give you is to keep the chicken frozen. Frozen chicken does better frozen, not thawed. It will become soggy if you thaw the chicken.
• Remove the sauce packet, and set it aside. Most of the frozen packages of chicken called for heating the sauce in a bowl of hot water.
• I usually toss the sauce with the cooked chicken and add it back into the air fryer basket for a couple of minutes, it really helps the flavor, and the sauce gets slightly caramelized.

How do you cook frozen orange chicken in an air fryer?

The best way to cook it is to place it in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 8 to 10 minutes.

When the chicken is almost cooked, toss the chicken with the sauce, and add it back to the basket for a couple of minutes, at 330 degrees F, air fryers setting.
