Air Fryer Frozen Chips
Description
The Air Fryer Frozen Chips recipe uses 750 grams of frozen oven chips and involves air frying them at 180°C (360°F) for 12 minutes. After shaking the chips and spraying them with extra virgin olive oil, they are cooked for an additional 4 minutes at 200°C (400°F). This two-step process helps achieve a crispier texture by adding oil in the middle of cooking. Using an air fryer reduces the need for deep frying while still producing chips with crispy edges and a tender inside.
Because the recipe accommodates any frozen chips brand, it is flexible to personal preference. Serving the chips with a sauce like burger sauce complements their texture and enhances flavor. The method is straightforward and relies on careful temperature control and a mid-cook oil spray to improve crispness.
Following the recommended timing ensures the chips are cooked through by the 12-minute mark, with the last 4 minutes focused on crisping. This approach can be applied to various frozen chip types, making it a useful technique for producing oven-style chips with less oil.
