Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for cooking.
- Arrange Chicken: Place the frozen popcorn chicken in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate evenly around each piece.
- Spritz with Oil: Lightly spray the popcorn chicken with oil spray to help it crisp up during cooking.
- Air Fry: Cook for 8-10 minutes at 400°F. Shake the basket gently halfway through cooking to promote even crisping on all sides.
- Serve: Once hot and crispy, carefully remove the popcorn chicken and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the size and brand of the air fryer.
