FAQ
Frozen food cooks very well in the air fryer. And air fryer is simply a small convection oven, so any frozen food that you bake can be air-fried.
Air-fried chicken strips cook faster, and the coating is crispier. So, yes, they're better!
If you place the strips next to each other or in a pile, the air won't be able to circulate around them properly, resulting in a soggy coating on part or all of the chicken strips.
