Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Open the package of Trader Joe’s Pulled Chicken.
  • Place the chicken directly into the air fryer basket.
  • Break apart the chicken pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Set the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the basket and check if the chicken is hot and lightly browned.
  • Serve as is or mix with barbecue sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • This chicken is already fully cooked, so the air fryer is used for reheating and browning.

  • For barbecue flavor, stir in your favorite BBQ sauce after air frying or use as a dipping sauce.
  • If using frozen pulled chicken, increase the cooking time by 5 minutes.
