An easy dinner, lunch, or snack, these Air Fryer Chicken Patties are a meal the whole family will enjoy. And being ready in 12 minutes or less, you can’t go wrong!
I have to be honest, life has been crazy around here lately. I am constantly finding new ways to offer up a quick meal and I have been making these Air Fryer Chicken Patties on the weekly around here.
Cooking chicken patties in the air fryer just makes sense. It’s my favorite way to do it. Only one ingredient from the bag straight into the air fryer, and in 12 minutes or less you have a meal.
We have been using Tyson chicken patties. Lily and Jeremy both love them, and they remind me of one of my favorite school lunches growing up, and it’s just a win-win situation all around.
Air frying them turns the outside nice and crispy patties while the inside stays moist. It sure beats deep frying them and getting all that excess oil or baking/microwaving, and they come out soggy.
We like to serve them as chicken burgers in hamburger buns, but you can serve them however you want. They are even great to use in other recipes!
In my opinion, this is truly the best way to cook frozen patties; it’s a foolproof recipe. The best results every time.
If you want to switch up your mealtime routine and need a super easy recipe that’s satisfying, then try these Air Fryer Chicken Patties. It’s a great way to get those hungry bellies satisfied fast!

HOW TO SERVE CRISPY CHICKEN PATTIES
As I mentioned earlier, we usually serve these as chicken burgers.
As an easy way to keep things interesting, I tend to switch up the bread.
My favorite bun options include:
- Brioche buns – my personal favorite
- Sesame seed bun
- Everything seasoned buns
- Poppy seed bun
- Multigrain bun – similar to the ones I used in my Copycat Chick-Fil-A Grilled Chicken Club recipe
They are even better if you have the time to make a toasted bun!
Of course, I love a good sauce on my sandwich. My go-to sauces are:
- Ketchup
- Mayonnaise
- Spicy Sriracha Mayo Sauce
- BBQ sauce
- Mustard or honey mustard
- Garlic Aioli
Other toppings I like to add:
- Slice of cheese – American, Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, or Cheddar
- Tomato
- Lettuce
- Onion
- Pickles
- Avocado
WHAT BRAND OF CHICKEN PATTIES SHOULD I USE?
In my opinion, Tyson makes the best patties for air fryer chicken burgers.
They’re chicken breast patties that are moist and crispy!
But, any different brands of frozen chicken patties you find in the grocery store will work as well.
HOW LONG TO AIR FRY FROZEN CHICKEN PATTIES?
Our recipe calls for 10-12 minutes cooking time in the air fryer in a preheated 360°F air fryer, flipping halfway through.
This method results in the best frozen chicken patties.
WHAT SIDE DISHES GO WELL WITH THESE?
I normally serve a simple side like chips with these, but you can serve them with anything you like!
- French fries
- Potato Chips
- Baked Beans
- Pasta Salad
- Potato Salad
