Ingredients
- A pack of frozen White Castle Chicken Rings: Ensure they are spread out evenly in the air fryer basket.
- Cooking spray: A light coating helps crisp up the rings without excess oil.
- Salt (optional): Just a pinch to enhance the flavor.
- Black pepper (optional): A light sprinkle according to taste.
Dipping sauces (optional):
- Ranch dressing: For a creamy dipping experience.
- Honey mustard: Adds a tangy sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the chicken.
- Barbecue sauce: For a smoky flavor twist.
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer: Set the temperature to 180°C (356°F). This ensures that your chicken rings will start cooking at the right temperature for optimal crispiness.
2. Prepare the basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. This prevents the chicken rings from sticking and helps achieve a golden, crispy finish.
3. Arrange the rings: Place the frozen White Castle Chicken Rings in a single layer in the basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
4. Start cooking: Cook for about 7 minutes. This initial cook time starts the crisping process.
5. Flip the rings: Using tongs, carefully flip each chicken ring. This ensures that both sides get evenly cooked and crispy.
6. Continue cooking: After flipping, cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Check the rings at the 5-minute mark; if they need more crispiness, give them a couple more minutes.
7. Check doneness: Ensure the chicken rings are golden brown and crispy to your liking. If necessary, you can cook them for an additional minute or two.
Notes
All air fryers are a bit different, so the first time you try this recipe, keep a close eye on the cooking process. Adjust the total cook time if needed based on your specific model.
