How to air fry frozen chicken patties

Now I’ll walk you through cooking air fried chicken patties and turning them into a meal.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Place frozen chicken patties in the air fryer basket, without touching, and air fry for 5 minutes. Flip and air fry another 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and the outside is golden brown. (Note: If cooking raw chicken patties – not pre-cooked chicken patties – make sure to cook to a safe chicken temperature of 165 degrees F, as measured with a meat thermometer. You can flip the chicken patties every 5 minutes until done.)
Add cheese slices on top of the cooked air fryer patties and air fry for an additional 1 minute on 350 degrees F.
Remove from air fryer and top with desired chicken patty toppings.
Remove them from the air fryer, add any additional toppings, if desired, and enjoy!

FAQs

How long to cook frozen chicken patties in air fryer if you’re reheating them?

If you’re just reheating thawed chicken patties (that are precooked and have been refrigerated), heat them for about 7-8 minutes in the air fryer at the same temperature as this recipe.

Where do you buy frozen breaded chicken patties?

Frozen breaded chicken patties are found with the chicken nuggets and frozen chicken wings section of the grocery store. You can use pretty much any brand for this recipe. Whole Food’s sells Bell and Evans chicken patties, you can usually find Tyson frozen chicken patties in most stores, or pick up some of Trader Joe’s breaded chicken patties.

What’s the difference between a chicken burger and a breaded chicken patty?

Most of the difference is the breading that’s on the outside of the chicken. A breaded chicken patty gets crunchy and crispy on the outside when air fried, but stays tender and juicy inside. A chicken burger will be more juicy on the outside because it doesn’t have the crust.
