Tips
This is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever make. However, I still have a couple of tips to help you make them the best they can possibly be.
- Always preheat your air fryer. It's a complete myth that you don't have to preheat your air fryer.
- If you're making these for a party, you can keep them warm in a 200-degree oven until ready to serve.
- All air fryers are different. If after 8 minutes, your chicken fries aren't as crispy as you like, then just cook them a little longer.
