HOW TO COOK FROZEN CHIPS IN AN AIR FRYER
- Arrange a portion of the frozen chips in a single layer. Try to avoid stacking, it blocks the chips from cooking evenly
- Set your air fryer to 200°C and cook the chips for 18-20 minutes. The exact length of time will depend on the thickness of your chips.
- Pause the timer halfway through, remove the fry basket and give it a good shake, this helps to promote an even temperature which ensures all the chips are cooked evenly.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and enjoy your air fried chips.
TIPS AND CONSIDERATIONS
- For even more flavourful chips, try sprinkling some of your favourite spices on the chips before putting them in the air fryer, this will bake onto the chips and add an extra dimension of flavour.
- While it is not necessary to grease the basket before you make these chips, it is recommended to mist them with some olive oil when they are finished.
DO I NEED TO DEFROST FROZEN CHIPS BEFORE COOKING THEM IN AN AIR FRYER?

HOW LONG TO COOK FROZEN CHIPS IN AN AIR FRYER?
The type of frozen chips you’re cooking will determine how long you need to cook them. Thin-cut chips need about 18-20 mins cook time and thick-cut chips usually take around 24-26 minutes to cook in an air fryer.
WHAT TEMPERATURE TO COOK FROZEN CHIPS IN AIR FRYER?
The temperature we use to cook frozen chips in an air fryer is 200°C/400°F. Frozen chips come out perfect every time at this temperature. You should use this temperature even if you want crispier chips, just vary the cooking time instead.
DO I NEED TO ADD OIL WHEN COOKING FROZEN CHIPS IN AN AIR FRYER?
No, you don’t have to add oil when cooking frozen chips in an air fryer, but we do recommend adding a few sprays of a low-calorie frying spray to ensure you get that familiar crunchy texture. Frylight 1 calorie spray is a great option to use here.
