If you’re a parent, then you know the stress of going from the school pick-up line to home to weeknight ball practice, dance lessons, or karate, not to mention all the weekend activities. Sometimes, we’re so busy, we wind up in the drive-thru line purchasing high-fat, high-calorie meals for the ones we love most. But the good news is that there is a healthier alternative. Thanks to your air fryer, you can prepare delicious meals your kids will love in the time it takes to swing through your local fast-food restaurant. For a quick meal, your kids can eat and run, we recommend air fryer frozen chicken fries.
Why Air Fry?
While these kid favorites aren’t innately healthy, using your air fryer drastically reduces the fat and calories they would consume from the local BK. Plus, air frying provides the crisp texture of deep-frying without the use of excessive unhealthy oils. Air fryer frozen chicken fries can also be paired with a healthier side item than french fries or tater tots.
In the eight minutes it takes to air fry the chicken fries, you can steam a side of green beans and whip up some instant mashed potatoes on the stovetop. The result is a healthier meal your kids will love prepared in under ten minutes. Simply cook, serve, and then load the kiddos in the car for a mid-week Tball game or soccer practice.

Very helpful even though I did not know how to use my air fryer.
Should I heat the air fryer first?
I generally always preheat.
I’m not familiar with an air fryer that’s why I’m here for this tips for chicken!
Hello Bijendra, air fryers are basically crispers. Typically I oil things that I don’t want to burn, I use a food thermometer to make sure that things are cooked on the inside, and if it is meat like chicken or a roast, or a rib, or anything sizeable, air fry them nonfrozen. Things like onion rings, frozen fries, or chicken fries, cook fine in an air fryer without being thawed.
