Tyson Chicken Patties
I love chicken patties, so no wonder you have landed on my frozen food guide for Tyson chicken patties.
My love affair with delicious chicken patties started at McDonalds and my addiction to the McChicken Sandwich.
I mean OMG what is there not to love about a chicken patty that is breaded and loaded into a bread bun with the most amazing mayonnaise?
Sofia totally agreed.
While pregnant with Sofia it was my main pregnancy craving and I just couldn’t stop eating them.
I was even more shocked that once she was born that she was such a light almost 6 pound baby and that I had lost weight during pregnancy. I mean where did all those calories go?
But just as Sofia reached her first birthday in the November of 2015 and when we started Recipe This I was following Paleo.
Obviously, McDonalds was out and instead I would buy delicious plain chicken patties from Lidl instead. No breading and delicious in the air fryer.
But surely there must be some middle ground? Air fryer chicken patties that you can eat that are not as unhealthy as McDonalds but not super healthy either?
Well you have found your middle ground in Tyson Chicken Patties!
These air fryer chicken patties is part of our Tyson air fryer week on Recipe This. Also check out: Tyson Chicken Strips, Tyson Popcorn Chicken, Tyson Chicken Fries, Tyson Chicken Nuggets, and Tyson Teriyaki Chicken.

Can You Air Fry Tyson Frozen Chicken Patties?
Absolutely! Tyson frozen chicken patties in the air fryer are fantastic and one of the easiest ways to enjoy a quick and crispy meal.
Cooking Tyson chicken patties in the air fryer gives you a deliciously crunchy coating while using less oil compared to deep frying or buying similar chicken patties from fast food restaurants.
The air fryer also helps prevent the soggy texture that you can sometimes get when oven baking frozen chicken patties. Instead, you get a crisp breaded coating with a warm, tender chicken centre.
Another great thing about Tyson chicken patties is that the breading holds together really well. They are not flimsy, and they cook neatly in the air fryer without creating lots of mess.
We also have an awesome free printable that shares the cooking times for all your favourite Tyson frozen foods in the air fryer, making it easy to cook your freezer favourites perfectly every time.
Can You Air Fry Frozen Chicken Patties?
Yes, you absolutely can air fry frozen chicken patties, and they turn out delicious.
It doesn’t have to be limited to the Tyson brand either. Any type of frozen chicken patties can be cooked in the air fryer, making it a quick and easy option for a simple meal.
I’ve cooked many different varieties in the air fryer, including both breaded chicken patties and unbreaded chicken patties.
The air fryer is perfect for bringing frozen chicken patties back to life, giving breaded versions a crispy coating while keeping the chicken inside warm and tender.
Frozen Chicken Patties Air Fryer Ingredients

Patties – You can use any brand of frozen chicken patties in the air fryer. Though many of our readers prefer Tyson chicken patties.
Rolls – I love a burger in a roll, don’t you? You can use the air fryer to warm up your bread rolls, then serve your chicken patties directly in your warm roll.
Garnish – If you are doing the burger in a roll, then don’t forget all your favourite salad garnish items. Or do it like a McChicken and add lettuce and mayonnaise only.
Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in this frozen chicken patties in the air fryer recipe it has just been our Power Air Fryer XL. Our readers have this one and its wonderful for many types of air fryer recipes.
Plus, we recommend you head over to our air fryer recipes category as we have more than 500 tried and tested air fryer recipes and have been air frying for 10 years.
Can You Recommend An Air Fryer?
I often get asked which air fryers I recommend and which one I use. In 95% of our air fryer recipes, we use either the Philips Air Fryer XL or the Cosori XL because they are the best ones, we have found out of many air fryers we have tried over the years. You can click on the links above and read up on them. But if you would rather have a dual air fryer we recommend this Ninja Dual (make sure you order the right one as not all are good) or the Philips Dual.
Can You Air Fry Chicken Patties?
Yes, you can air fry chicken patties, and they turn out delicious!
The air fryer is one of the easiest ways to cook chicken patties, giving them a beautifully crispy outside while keeping the inside warm and tender.
Just like our air fryer hamburgers and air fryer frozen burgers, the air fryer is perfect for cooking all kinds of patties. It creates that delicious crispy texture with minimal effort, making it a quick and tasty option for lunch, dinner or a simple snack.
Once you try chicken patties in the air fryer, you’ll love how easy and delicious they are.
How To Cook Frozen Chicken Patties In Air Fryer?

- Load. Grab some frozen chicken patties from your freezer and load into the air fryer basket. They don’t need thawing before air frying.
- Cook. Air fry your chicken patties for 8 minutes.
- Beeps. When the air fryer beeps, serve in bread rolls or hamburger buns with garnish.
And I am sure you can see now how easy it is to air fry chicken patties and why you should be doing it too!
Frozen Chicken Patties In An Air Fryer Oven
You can also cook frozen chicken patties in an air fryer oven, which is a great option if you want to cook a larger batch at once.
The extra space means you can spread the chicken patties across multiple shelves, making it perfect for feeding a family or preparing several servings.
However, I do find that chicken patties in an air fryer oven don’t become quite as crispy as they do in a basket-style air fryer. The texture is more similar to oven-baked breaded chicken, rather than the extra crispy finish you get from the circulating air in a smaller basket.
How Long To Cook Frozen Chicken Patties In An Air Fryer?
The Tyson chicken patties air fryer cook time is just 8 minutes when cooked from frozen.
Even better, they don’t need turning halfway through cooking. Simply place your frozen chicken patties in the air fryer, cook for 8 minutes, and they are ready to enjoy.
The recommended Tyson chicken patties temperature is 180°C/360°F.
Chicken Patties In Air Fryer Tips & Tricks
Here are a few simple tips for the best air fryer chicken patties:
- For extra crispy chicken patties, lightly spray them with extra virgin olive oil before the final 3 minutes of cooking.
- Cook your Tyson chicken patties in a single layer. Stacking them can cause them to stick together, cook unevenly and become less crispy.
- You can use any brand of chicken patties in the air fryer — it all comes down to your personal preference.
Interesting Air Fryer Trick
After cooking your chicken patties, your air fryer will still be warm. Take advantage of that leftover heat by adding some bread rolls and air frying them for around 2 minutes.
It’s a simple way to warm and lightly crisp your rolls while your chicken patties are cooking or just after they have finished.

I immediately saw the Jump to Recipe button, although, if I’m not in a hurry, I always read the blogs.
That was a very long story
Thanks for reading Jamie. If you press the jump to recipe button you will be taken straight to the recipe. It is right at the top of the post so our readers will not miss it if they do need any important info and tips in the content 🙂
Disagree, your post is long winded and full of adds.. Takes several minutes to find recipe..
Try again.
Hi Jay,
If you had seen the jump to recipe button at the top of the post to help readers like yourself who are in a rush to get to the recipe, it would have saved you the trouble of scrolling down to the bottom and answering one of our comments 🙂
Too many recipes are long-winded because the websites usually pay per word. Which means that the author will put anything they can that pumps up that word count. This “recipe” is no exception. No one cares about your McChicken “addiction”. Just give us the recipe, not your boring life story.
Also i did not see the jump to recipe button and if I had I would not have added this stupid comment and thought twice about how my comments can affect people who are just providing free information.
Sincerely,
everyone
Hi Rusty,
No one cares about this comment to be honest. You scroll to the bottom of the page, assume how we get paid and then generalise that everyone who visits our site feels the same as you???? Like the answer above the jump to recipe button is available for anyone who just wants the recipe, also as you can see we can manipulate your comment how we see fit and even if it appears on the blog.
This is not Youtube or Facebook or Twitter. We control the content and what comments our genuine readers get to see 🙂
Exactly. That’s the first thing I look for is the Jump To Recipe button if I’m in a hurry. It’s ridiculous that someone will come onto YOUR site and then give these rude comments. I so appreciate you bloggers and all of the time it takes. Just know, you’re doing a fantastic job. Nothing in life is ever free after all
Thank you for your comments Karen, they are very much appreciated 🙂
Thank you for the good recipe.
Going to buy some Tyson chicken patties to try this out.
Just wanted to say thank you for your great air fryer recipes. You continue to inspire me. Had the Tower for 3 months now and loving trying new things.
Thank you Samantha, I love chicken patties and can’t wait to try Tysons in the air fryer.
