    Substitutions and Variations

    • Olive Oil or Cooking Spray: A light coating before cooking them in the air fryer makes them even more crispy.
    • Bread: If you prefer to serve your chicken strips as a sandwich or wrap, choose your favorites and prepare any additional toppings you choose like cheese, lettuce, or tomato.
    • Salad: Have a fresh bed of lettuce and all the fixings ready to add when the chicken strips are cooked.
    • Seasoning: While Tyson chicken strips already come with a tasty breading, you may want to experiment with added flavors like a sprinkling of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, as soon as they finish cooking inside your air fryer.
    • Spicy: Add a sprinkling of chili pepper flakes, our jalapeno powder, smoked jalapeno powder, or chipotle powder to the chicken strips while hot inside your air fryer before removing. You can serve up our homemade hot pepper sauce on the table as well.

    Instructions

    It doesn't get much easier than this. Simply air fry the chicken strips. That's it! The exact instructions including temperature and cook time are in the recipe card at the end of the post.

    Tips

    Here are tips to help you achieve the best results when air frying Tyson chicken strips:

    • Spread the chicken strips out in the air fryer basket to avoid overcrowding.
    • For extra-crispy results, you could spray the chicken strips with a light coating of cooking spray or oil before air frying.
    • For even cooking and crispiness, turn, shake or adjust the strips over halfway through the cooking process to make sure that both sides of the chicken strips are perfectly cooked.
    • Cook in batches if need a larger number of chicken strips.
    • Cooking times may vary somewhat depending on your air fryer so adjust timings accordingly. Check for golden-brown color and crispiness.

    FAQ

    Do I need to apply oil on my chicken strips before air frying them?

    No, you do not need to apply oil on the chicken strips as they cook up perfectly without any oil.

    Should I place the frozen chicken strips directly in the air fryer or defrost them first?

    You can place the frozen chicken strips directly into the air fryer without defrosting them. Arrange the chicken strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.

    Can you cook Tyson Air Fried Chicken strips in the microwave?

    Although the air fryer is the preferred method to achieve the best crispy texture, you can still cook Tyson Air Fried Chicken strips in the microwave. However, the texture may not be as crispy as when cooked in an air fryer.
