Notes

    • Avoid using a non-stick cooking spray with additives as this might break down the non-stick coating in your air fryer basket. It is important to use a sprayer filled with your desired oil, such as avocado or olive oil.
    • Make sure to check the nutrition of your brand of popcorn chicken for an accurate reading and recommended serving size.
    • Cook from frozen – do not thaw first.
    • Cook time may vary depending on your specific model of air fryer.
    • Recipe time and temperature is based on a preheated air fryer. If cooking in multiple batches, be sure to check on the remaining batches early, as they may cook more quickly.
