Ingredients

1 frozen chicken patty homemade or store-bought, with or without breading
1 teaspoon olive oil or neutral cooking oil / cooking spray; optional but recommended

Instructions

Preheat air fryer by running it for 5 minutes at 360°F (180°C).
1 teaspoon olive oil
Brush the air fryer basket with a bit of the oil, then place the frozen chicken patties in the basket and brush the top with the remaining oil. Cook in a single layer and make sure there is enough room for the air to ciruclate around them.

Air fry for 16-18 minutes at 360°F (180°C), flipping once halfway.
Make sure the patties are done, and if not, add a few more minutes. Then serve with your favorite sauces and sides!

Notes

This recipe has been tested in the following air fryer models (affiliate links): Philips HD9252/90 Air Fryer, Ninja DZ401 DualZone XL Air Fryer and Cosori Pro II. . Cooking time can vary with your specific model.

If your patties are frozen together, air fry them like that for a few minutes first, so they thaw just enough for you to separate them. Then spread out and keep going.
Use a meat thermometer to know when they are done. Even if they're pre-cooked, they should reach at least 165°F (73°C) for safe consumption.
Leftovers: Leftovers are best eaten straight away, so I recommend not cooking more than you will finish. If you do have leftovers it is however possible to store them.
Storing leftovers: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing: I do not recommend freezing leftovers.
Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for 5-6 minutes, until heated through.
