My air fryer is my most loved kitchen appliance. I use it ALL the time especially on busy weeknights.

One of my favorite ways to use the air fryer is to cook frozen food. It has the ability to crisp up things like french fries, coconut shrimp, and these chicken fries.

All you need is a bag of frozen chicken fries, your air fryer, and 10 minutes to have a fun and easy meal or snack.

Try serving them with this copycat Burger King Zesty sauce for the ultimate restaurant experience.

Heather’s tips for crispy air fryer chicken fries

  • Make sure to place the chicken fries in a single layer so that the hot air can circulate around them to get them nice and crispy.
  • If you want to cook the whole bag be sure to cook them in two batches so that you don’t crowd the basket.
  • The chicken fries are precooked with oil so extra oil is not necessary BUT if you want them extra crispy, lightly spray them with olive oil halfway through cooking.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Reheat them in the air fryer at 375 degrees for 5 minutes.
