Pro Tips for the Best Results

Flip or Shake Midway

Promotes even browning and crispiness on all sides.

Don’t Overcrowd

Too many in one batch will reduce crispiness—cook in layers if needed.

Serve Hot

Chicken fries are best enjoyed right after air frying while still crispy.

Add Cheese or Spices

Top with shredded cheese, chili powder, or garlic parmesan after cooking for a flavor twist.
