Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken

One of my favorite ways to use this popcorn chicken is in our copycat KFC Bowls! This is my husband's favorite comfort food right now.

The perfect combination of mashed potatoes, popcorn chicken, gravy, corn, and cheese!

If you are planning to use this frozen popcorn chicken in the air fryer as an appetizer we highly suggest setting out an assortment of dipping sauces. You can set up a chicken platter with dipping sauces for the perfect finger food appetizer.

These taste amazing with Boom Boom Sauce, Raising Cane's Sauce, Zaxby's Sauce, Chick Fil A Sauce, or Southern Comeback Sauce.

I love that this is fast food you can make at home! Life is so busy right now that any meal at home feels like a treat. We have been running around like crazy this summer and I am actually looking forward to some quiet nights at home soon.

Air fried frozen popcorn chicken is an easy way to make a quick and delicious snack, appetizer, or meal.

Ingredients

Frozen Popcorn Chicken

Optional - If you want a bit of extra flavor you can sprinkle the chicken pieces with garlic powder.

Equipment Needed

Air Fryer

Tongs - I find that using a small pair of tongs makes it so much easier to remove the popcorn chicken in the air fryer. Protect your fingers and make sure you use something to pull them out.

Kitchen Thermometer - You can use a kitchen thermometer to make sure the internal temp of the chicken is correct.

Recipe Tips

We do not pre-heat our air fryer for this recipe.

Make sure the chicken is evenly spread out in a single layer in the air fryer to make sure the hot air can fully circulate around the chicken.

Cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer. Make sure to check the 1st batch of popcorn chicken until you know how your air fryer cooks.

We do not spray the chicken or air fryer with any olive oil or cooking spray. Just spread the frozen popcorn chicken in the air fryer and close the air fryer basket.

There is no need to defrost or warm the chicken before cooking it.
