Ingredients

1, 40 oz. bag Tyson frozen chicken strips
Dipping sauce of choice

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Arrange the frozen chicken strips in a single layer inside the air fryer basket or on the rack to ensure even cooking.
Step 2: Cook the chicken strips for 11 to 12 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, flip the chicken strips halfway through cooking.
Try different dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue for varied flavors.
Do not overcrowd the basket to maintain crisp texture; cook in batches if needed.

Storage

Store any leftover cooked chicken strips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them back in the air fryer at 360°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispiness.

FAQs

Can I cook frozen chicken strips without preheating the air fryer?

Yes, you can place the strips directly in the air fryer and add a couple of extra minutes to the cooking time, but preheating helps achieve better crispiness.

What if my chicken strips aren’t crispy enough after cooking?

Try cooking them a few minutes longer or flipping them halfway to improve crispness. Avoid overcrowding the basket for optimal results.
