Breaded Chicken Breasts can be cooked frozen. Due to their thickness, they can be cooked without thawing. It is safer to reach a high internal temperature as quickly as possible. So skip thawing.
Air fryers work by circulating hot air in the basket, making for efficient frying. For best results, keep the gap between the chicken breasts. If they do not all fit in one basket, batch fry in smaller quantities. The extra time will be worth it. Since the air fryer is already heated from the first batch, the following batches may cook a bit faster.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Lay chicken breasts in a single layer.
Since the heating element and fan are from top to bottom, flip food at halfway point. It is helpful to have an alarm for reminder.
