Main Ingredients
- 12 pieces Frozen Crispy Chicken (equivalent to 1 whole chicken)
- 3 Tbsp Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1 Tbsp Herb Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Check the packaging for the ‘Air Fryer Use’ label. This particular product is from Maniker and contains 12 pieces, which is equivalent to one whole chicken.
Step 2
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). There’s no need to thaw the frozen chicken; simply take it out of the freezer and place it directly into the air fryer basket. Cook for a total of 20 minutes at 180°C, flipping the chicken halfway through (after 10 minutes) to ensure even crispiness on all sides.
Step 3
Your old-fashioned fried chicken is now perfectly cooked, golden brown, and delightfully crispy on both sides! The savory aroma filling your kitchen is reminiscent of traditional fried chicken, promising a truly satisfying taste.
Step 4
One whole chicken is surprisingly generous. If you’re cooking for one or find the quantity a bit much, feel free to cook only half a chicken (6 pieces) at a time. This is usually more than enough. Any remaining chicken can be stored back in the freezer or saved for another meal.
