What are Chicken Fries?

Just like French fries, chicken fries are made of chicken that is cut into the shape of French fries. It is then breaded for crunch.

After cooking, these fries are succulent inside and crunchy outside. A delicious snack or starter.

Ingredients

1 Pack Chicken fries

Instructions

Take 1 lb. Or 500 gm. Pack of frozen chicken fries. You can get Tyson’s chicken fries if they are available in your area.

Or you can pick any frozen chicken fries brand from the freezer section of your grocery store.

Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 5 minutes.

Cut the packet and add chicken fries to the basket.

There is no need to thaw these.

Preferably avoid too much overlapping. A bit of overlapping is fine.

Air fry for about 8 minutes at 180C or 360F till the chicken fries are browned and crunchy outside and cooked inside.

I normally pick out one fry to check.

If you want them crisper or browner, then you can air fry for a couple of minutes. But be watchful as we don’t want them to overcook.

Take them out and serve hot with a dip of choice.

Tips

1. There is no need to thaw the fries. Just put them straight from the packet into preheated air fryer.

2. You cannot refreeze these fries, have them fresh and hot. In case you wish to, you can store them in air tight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them for 4-5 minutes in air fryer at 180C or 360F before consuming.

3. Serve them with dips of choice. I love honey mustard dip, ketchup or Chipotle mayo with them.

4. Do not overcrowd the basket. A bit of overlapping is fine.

5. Every air fryer model is different so your air frying time may vary a bit.
