Notes
Tips For Making Frozen Fried Chicken In The Air Fryer:
- This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Models. I have made this several times during the years, in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and other models. The recipe will remain the same.
- The cooking time will ultimately be determined by how thick and big your fried chicken is, so for best results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- You do not need to spray your basket before adding the chicken. I have never found that the frozen fried chicken sticks, as it cooks up in the Air Fryer.
- For best results, do not crowd the air fryer basket. This is one recipe that you really want to use the hot air from the Air Fryer to crisp up and cook your chicken perfectly!
- Keep your frozen chicken frozen until you add it to the air fryer.
