Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Kiev
I started my obsession with chicken kiev as a kid and just loved how delicious they were. The garlic butter centre that dripped out, the crispy chicken, what was not to love?
Plus, I loved how easy they were. Load frozen chicken kievs into the oven, they bake and then you serve them with your favourite sides.
But looking back, our parents generation had to pre-heat the oven and it took ages. Not that us kids cared.
But step aside ovens, as the air fryer was made for cooking chicken kievs and many other favourite frozen breaded chicken.
With this air fryer frozen chicken kiev there is no pre-heating of the oven, just load the frozen kiev into the air fryer and let the air fryer do the magic.
Even better, if you like your chicken kiev to be nice and crispy, then the air fryer can do that too!
