12 to 15 minutes.
Frozen chicken tenders need to be defrosted first, and then fried through the hot air circulation of high-temperature air. This process takes time to ensure that the chicken tenders are evenly heated from the inside to the outside to achieve the fried effect. Different air fryer power and the size and thickness of the chicken fillets will also affect the frying time.
During the frying process, the chicken fillets need to be turned over in the middle stage to ensure that both sides are evenly heated, which will also add some extra time. Therefore, combining the steps of thawing, frying and turning, it takes 12 to 15 minutes to fry frozen semi-finished chicken fillets in an air fryer.
