Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Strips

The air fryer makes the breading so crispy on the outside while staying juicy on the inside. These chicken tenders are perfect!

Imagine biting into these mouthwatering air fried chicken strips – so yummy! The air fryer is great for cooking frozen chicken strips!

I used the Pilgrims brand here, but you can use any brand you have in your local grocery store.

These are great to keep in the freezer so you have them on hand when you are at a loss for what to cook for dinner. Just pull these out and use your air fryer to cook and you will have a meal in no time at all.

Kids and adults alike love chicken strips! Great on their own or pair with a side. I have some ideas below!

How to Prepare Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Strips

This recipe is so easy to make! All you need are frozen chicken strips and your air fryer!

Place the chick strips in an even layer in the air fryer basket. I did 5 because that is how many fit comfortably in my air fryer.

If you have a larger air fryer and want to make more, go ahead! Otherwise I suggest you do them in batches.

Then set the air fryer temperature to 390F for 12 minutes and let cook.

Halfway through cooking time, or 6 minutes, take out the basket from the air fryer.

Use a spatula to carefully flip the chicken strips over to the other side. This way they will be brown evenly on both sides.

Then return the basket to the air fryer and let it finish cooking.

When done, enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• No need to defrost! You can cook these straight out of your freezer.
• If serving to children, cut open and let cool slightly first.
• Use a dipping sauce for flavor! I have some suggestions below.

These are great with a condiment for dipping, such as ketchup or honey mustard!
