Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 380° Fahrenheit. Once air fryer is preheated, lightly spray basket with neutral cooking spray if desired. Place frozen chicken fries directly in air fryer basket in one even layer. Make sure chicken fries aren't stacked or touching and be careful not to overcrowd basket.
Place air fryer basket in air fryer. Cook chicken fries 5 minutes, then pause air fryer and remove basket. Shake well to toss and flip chicken fries, then return basket to air fryer and cook 3 to 5 minutes more, depending on size and number of chicken fries. See Notes.
If fries are not golden or crispy enough after 10 minutes of cooking, return basket to air fryer and cook 1 to 2 additional minutes.
When satisfied with doneness of chicken fries, carefully remove air fryer basket and transfer chicken fries to plates or bowls. Serve immediately with dipping sauce(s) of choice.
Recipe Notes
Frozen Chicken Fries: Any type and any brand can be cooked in the air fryer! We used Earth's Best organic frozen chicken fries.
Cook Time: Smaller chicken fries will cook faster, so check them frequently and take them out when they're ready. When we tested smaller ones, they only needed 7-8 minutes total. We cooked them 5 minutes, shook the basket, and then cooked them 2-3 minutes more.
