Step by Step Instructions
Cooking air fryer frozen chicken patties is literally a piece of cake! Since the burgers are already breaded and precooked all you need to do is preheat the air fryer, cook the patties for 10 minutes flipping them over halfway during cooking.
Preheat
Preheat your air fryer to 400 F.
Air Fry
Place chicken patties in the air fryer basket. Be sure to space them out to sufficiently give them space to cook. Our air fryer fits four patties with about an inch between them.
Cook patties for 10 minutes. Flip halfway through cook time after 4-5 minutes.
If you want, you can add slices of your favorite cheese to each patty. For best results add the cheese for the final minute of cook time, if you add it earlier it will overcook your cheese and give it an undesirable texture. Cheddar is a classic patty topper, but my house also enjoys Havarti or provolone on our air fryer frozen chicken patties.
Serve & Enjoy
Remove the patties from the air fryer with a plastic spatula, and serve immediately, or refrigerate and serve within 4 days.
Recipe Tips
- While the patties are technically cooked at 8 minutes, we prefer them a bit crispier, so we like to cook them for 10 minutes.
- All air fryers tend to cook at slightly different temperatures. Be sure to keep a close eye on your patties the first time you make them to avoid overcooking.
- If you choose to add cheese to your patties, only add it for the last minute of cooking. At this temperature, any longer will over cook your cheese.
- The chicken patty air fryer recipe is a yummy substitute for a burger, served on a bun with all your favorite toppings, but they also taste great on their own, as a simple easy dinner.
Common Questions
Chicken burgers go great with traditional waffle fries, or for a low-carb alternative, you can pair them with our easy air fryer radishes recipe.
Chicken patties in the air fryer keep in the fridge for about four days after cooking. For best results and maximum crispiness, reheat the leftover patties in your air fryer.
To reheat chicken patties, preheat your air fryer to 400 F. Once preheated, cook patties for 2+ minutes or until heated through, and enjoy!
