Frozen Chicken Patty in Air Fryer

In this article we are going to show you how you can have an easy dinner on the table in under 20 minutes by cooking frozen chicken patties in the air fryer! It is so simple and so much healthier than deep frying those crispy patties…. I wish I would have tried this sooner. We used an off brand frozen chicken patty while making this recipe but you can also cook tyson chicken patties the same way. We will be testing out a couple of different brands from our grocery store and will update you here if the cook time and temperature are also the same.

Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Patty

We started by setting our air fryer to 350 degrees to let it preheat. Now I am using the air fryer function on my Ninja Foodi Grill. I left my grill grate in the air fryer instead of using the air fryer basket. So if your air fryer looks different from my photos…. don’t worry you can use the standard air fryer basket and still cook them the same way as I am showing you here. When cooking chicken patties you will not be defrosting them.  You place them right into your air fryer, frozen. This is the best way to cook them in order to get that perfect juicy interior and golden brown crispy exterior.

How long do you cook frozen chicken patties in the air fryer?

The cooking time for our air fryer chicken patties was a total of 15 minutes. However, you should always check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to make sure they have reached the required internal temperature. We always refer to the FDA’s internal temperature guide for the correct temperature for all different types of meat. And then finally to get the best results you should always let your cooked chicken rest for 4-5 minutes after the cook time has completed before eating. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier bite.

Final thoughts

We loved our chicken burgers for dinner. This chicken patty recipe makes such a quick meal and an easy way to air fry chicken patties. I also saved a couple of leftover chicken patties in an airtight container and was able to make chicken sandwiches with them for lunch the next day! I think we will be trying this same method with frozen chicken nuggets and chicken tenders next and try to come up with another quick dinner idea that the whole family will enjoy!
