These Air-Fryer Chicken Fries are crunchy, appetizing and addicting! They take 3-4 minutes per batch to cook in the air-fryer and comes out with the perfect crunch.
This Air-Fryer Chicken Fries recipe is WW friendly and kid-friendly. Makes a great snack or meal addition. My children devoured these, not a single Chicken Fry was left back! They like to have it with ketchup, honey mustard, and BBQ sauce. Personally, ketchup and hot sauce are my favorites!
Chicken: You need 1 pound of chicken cutlets or chicken breast cut into cutlets. I used 5 chicken cutlets that I cut in half then sliced them into small strips (pictured in the steps below). Pound out any thick parts of the cutlet to make even strips.
Cooking time: These Chicken Fries take about 3-4 minutes to cook. Halfway through cooking, stop and shake air-fryer tray or toss around chicken. Check at 3 minutes for doneness. May require more or less time depending on how thick the slices are cut. I recommend serving these right after cooling for 2-3 minutes.
Serving Size: I split these into 5 equal servings which come out approximately to just over 3 ounces.
