Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400° Fahrenheit. When air fryer is preheated, remove basket from air fryer and spray bottom and sides of basket with neutral-flavored cooking spray.
Add 1 24-ounce bag frozen popcorn chicken to air fryer basket and spread popcorn chicken out into single, even layer. Work in multiple batches as needed depending on size of air fryer.
Lightly spray popcorn chicken with neutral-flavored cooking spray, then return basket to air fryer. Air fry popcorn chicken 4 minutes.
After 4 minutes, remove basket from air fryer. Shake basket to toss all pieces of popcorn chicken.
Return basket to air fryer. Air fry popcorn chicken 4 minutes more.
After 4 minutes, remove basket from air fryer. Shake basket to toss popcorn chicken again.
Return basket to air fryer. Continue air frying chicken in 1-minute increments, shaking basket every minute, until chicken is as browned and crispy as desired.
Transfer air fried chicken to serving bowls. Serve immediately with desired sauces.
Recipe Notes
Keep a close eye on the chicken and cook it just until it's as browned and crispy as you like it. Depending on your air fryer, you may not need the full 8-minute cook time, or you may need more than 8 minutes.
