These Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Fries are spicy, crunchy and perfect for an appetizer or a main dish! You can make them as spicy or mild as you like – PLUS – I’ve got some secret tricks for extra spicy flavor!

Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Fries

I’ve tried Chicken Fries in the fast food world and thought – hmmm – I can make those! Have you had them? They’re crunchy and portable – basically like a smaller chicken tender. But those chicken fries are pressed chicken meat – I made mine with real chicken breast.

And I can promise you that this chicken is super juicy and tender – plus – it cooks faster since it’s cut into thin strips! I made spicy and mild fries – can you tell which is which? (HINT: orange = hotter!)

Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Fries

Oh really you say? Yes…here are the…

Ingredients for Buffalo Chicken Fries

  • 2 chicken breasts – I buy the pre-marinated chicken breasts all the time! The ones I had were “savory” marinade – whatever that means.
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce – you can use Frank’s Buffalo if you like – but I tend to like the creamier wing sauces – especially the Kroger brand
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
Pro Tip

Fan of Spicy Food?

Did you know there’s a SPICY panko breading? Let me tell you – if you like spicy foods and have an air fryer – THIS is the product for you! The spice level is no joke! I made this recipe with both regular and spicy panko – and woooo – they aren’t kidding around!

How do you make Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Fries?

  • Cut chicken breasts into small thin strips. About 3″ x .75″ in size
    • I will say – my strips were a little big if you’re thinking of the “chicken fries” in the fast food world – but they are smaller than a chicken tender for sure
  • Set up two breading trays – one with buffalo wing sauce and one with panko bread crumbs
    • I did one chicken breast with spicy panko and one with regular panko – for me – a certifiable spice wuss – I like the regular!
  • Dip chicken in buffalo then coat in panko. Pat the panko onto the chicken fries.
    • If you want spicier chicken fries, you can use a medium or hot buffalo sauce OR use the spicy panko breading that I mentioned above. Combine them for super spicy chicken fries!
    • If you want milder chicken fries, I would stick with a mild wing sauce and the plain panko breading. It’s still got the buffalo flavor without too much spicy!
  • Lay chicken strips in air fryer and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
  • Cook for 6-7 minutes – flipping halfway thru. 
  • Repeat with remaining chicken. 
  • Cool for 2-3 minutes and serve with Buffalo Ranch.

    These are so delicious and easy. I made a batch for my son’s friends yesterday. They were such a hit that I could barely keep up with demand.
