Ingredients
You only need a bag of Tyson Anytizers Chicken Fries. For this demonstration, 28 chicken fries were used, which is about half a bag.
Cooking spray is optional. Avocado oil spray or olive oil spray can help the outside become slightly more golden and crisp, but the chicken fries will still cook well without it.
Instructions
Place the frozen chicken fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Keeping them in one layer helps the hot air circulate around each piece so the breading cooks evenly.
Lightly spray the chicken fries with avocado oil spray or olive oil spray if you want a more golden finish. This step is optional.
Cook at 400 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken fries are hot and crisp. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce while the breading is still crisp.
Tips
You do not have to preheat the air fryer for this recipe. The chicken fries cook well in about 10 minutes without preheating.
There is no need to spray the air fryer basket first. If using cooking spray, spray the chicken fries lightly instead to help the coating brown.
You do not have to flip the chicken fries during cooking. The air fryer’s circulating hot air helps crisp the breading on all sides.
For the best texture, arrange the chicken fries in a single layer. If the basket is crowded, cook them in batches.
If you prefer extra crispy chicken fries, add 1 to 2 minutes to the cooking time and check them near the end so they do not overcook.
Different air fryer brands and basket sizes can cook slightly differently, so use the suggested time as a guide and adjust as needed.
Can I cook an entire bag of Anytizers Chicken Fries at once?
Yes, you can cook an entire bag of Tyson Anytizers Chicken Fries in the air fryer, but the cooking time will need to be increased. For best results, shake the basket halfway through cooking so the pieces move around and heat more evenly. If your air fryer basket is small, cooking in batches will give you a crispier result.
What dips go with Tyson Anytizers Chicken Fries?
Air fryer Anytizers Chicken Fries pair well with classic condiments such as honey mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and ranch dressing. These easy dips make the chicken fries even more snackable and are usually crowd-pleasing options for kids and adults.
If you want a sauce with more flavor, try something creamy, smoky, tangy, or spicy. Chicken fries work well with Cajun sauce, chipotle lime crema, Asian-style dipping sauce, sriracha mayo, or a simple homemade barbecue sauce.
- Creamy Cajun Sauce
- Barbecue Sauce made with ketchup
- Chipotle Lime Crema
- Asian Dipping Sauce

If you prefer cool and creamy dips, ranch-style sauces are a great match for crispy breaded chicken.

For a homestyle option, serve the breaded chicken fries with Southern white gravy. The creamy gravy makes them feel more like a comfort food meal.
