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.
