Pro Tips

  • For the best results do not overcrowd the air fryer basket so that the hot air circulates well and the burgers cook up.
  • No oil is needed for making frozen chicken patty air fryer style.
  • Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.

Prep Ahead and Storage

  • Make ahead – no advance prep needed. Simply go from freezer to air fryer!
  • Storage – tightly wrap leftover cooked chicken patties in foil and keep in the fridge for 2 days. Do not refreeze cooked chicken patties.
  • Reheat – To reheat leftovers, place in air fryer and cook at 350F / 180C for 3-5 minutes.

FAQs

How Long To Cook Frozen Chicken Patties in Air Fryer?

Cooking times depend entirely on the size of the patties and the temperature. Based on a 350F / 180C temperature, you should cook
quarter-pound chicken patties for 8-10 minutes.

Thicker patties may need a little extra time, and a thinner patty may need less time.

How To Make Sure The Patties Are Crispy?

To make sure the patties are crispy, it’s important that you don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave room around all sides of the chicken patty so that the air can circulate and crisp them up nicely. 

Make sure to cook the chicken burgers in a single layer, and not stacked on top of each other. Depending on how many you need, you may need to cook in batches.
