Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients 

  • 1 bag Aldi Red Bag Chicken

Instructions 

  • Use your favorite cooking spray and spritz the air fryer basket or rub vegetable oil inside the basket.
  • Place 2-4 pieces of chicken fillets into the basket. Air fry at 380 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through the cooking process. 
  • Once chicken is crispy, and has an internal temperature of 165 degrees, remove from basket and serve while hot.

Notes

Optional Favorite Dipping Sauces: You can use hot sauce, ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, seasoned rice wine vinegar with a pinch of sugar, chick-fil-a sauce or a family secret sauce recipe.
Other Optional Toppings: Sautéed peppers and onions, fresh mozzarella with marinara sauce, pepper jack cheese, roasted mushrooms with Swiss cheese or a fresh herb salad, all pair well with this chicken.
Optional Additional Seasonings: I love to mix up seasonings by adding garlic powder, Chinese 5 spice blend, yeast extract, black pepper, ancho chili powder or Italian seasoning to this chicken.
Cooking Tips: To get maximum crispness, don’t overcrowd the air fryer. You can cook in batches depending on how many chicken fillets you need. And to keep chicken crispy, let chicken rest on a wire rack if not serving right away.
