Ingredients

  • Thin frozen chicken cutlets, in one layer’s worth
  • A little oil or oil spray
  • Salt, pepper and whatever seasoning you like (garlic powder, paprika)

Steps

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  2. Rinse any ice off the cutlets under cold water, then pat them dry.
  3. Oil and season both sides.
  4. Lay them in the basket in one layer, not touching.
  5. Cook 6 minutes, flip, then cook 4 to 6 minutes more.
  6. Check the thickest part reads 165°F.
  7. Rest 3 minutes before cutting.

Notes

  • On a grate you can skip the flip; give it a minute or two longer instead.
