Notes

Storing French's Crunchy Onion Chicken:
  1. Refrigeration: If you plan to consume the chicken within a few days, store any leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days.
Freezing French's Crunchy Onion Chicken:
  1. Cooling: Allow the cooked chicken to cool to room temperature. It's important not to freeze hot food as it can raise the freezer's internal temperature.
  2. Wrap Individually: Wrap each chicken piece individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This prevents them from sticking together and helps maintain their crispiness.
  3. Place in a Container: After wrapping the chicken pieces, place them in a freezer-safe container or resealable freezer bags. Removing as much air as possible will help prevent freezer burn.
  4. Label and Date: Label the container or bags with the date of freezing to keep track of freshness.
Reheating Frozen French's Crunchy Onion Chicken:
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to around 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
  2. Reheat from Frozen: Place the frozen chicken pieces directly in the preheated air fryer basket. Air fry for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are heated through and the coating becomes crispy again.
  3. Serve: Once heated and crispy, remove the chicken from the air fryer and enjoy.
By following these storage, freezing, and reheating steps, you can enjoy your Air Fryer French's Crunchy Onion Chicken even after freezing. While it may not be as crispy as when first cooked, it will still be delicious and convenient for a quick meal.
