The packaging on this frozen fried chicken from Banquet is remarkably accurate – when it comes to air frying times. I found it took a solid twenty minutes to cook the two pieces pictured below. The big boxes of fried chick contain legs, thighs and breasts, the bigger pieces may well need even more than twenty minutes to reach the magic 165F mark in the center.
Please ensure your food is always thoroughly cooked. We recommend investing in a reliable kitchen thermometer. Check out the affordable selection on Amazon - there's something at every price point.

Just a question: Do you thaw the chicken before cooking; just wondering.
I always cook pre-made frozen products like this from frozen 🙂
