Ingredients

• 1 Hungry Man Beer Battered Chicken Meal (frozen)

• Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)

Optional Add-Ons & Extras:

• Honey mustard for dipping

• BBQ sauce for a smoky touch

• Hot sauce or sriracha for spice

• Steamed vegetables for a fresh side

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the chicken and sides cook evenly and get the perfect texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Frozen Meal

1. Remove the meal from the box and plastic film, keeping the compartments intact.

2. Separate the beer-battered chicken from the sides to ensure even cooking. Place the chicken directly in the air fryer basket.

3. Cover the sides with foil to prevent them from overcooking.

Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken & Sides

• Chicken Only: Cook at 375°F for 14-16 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.

• Sides: After 8 minutes of cooking, place the sides in the air fryer on a small air fryer-safe dish and continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes until fully heated.

• Extra Crunch: If you prefer a crispier coating, cook for an additional 2 minutes at 400°F.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy

• Carefully remove the chicken and sides from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before eating.

• Serve immediately with honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or hot sauce for dipping.

How to Serve This Beer Battered Chicken Meal

• Classic Combo: Serve with coleslaw and a biscuit for a homestyle meal.

• Spicy Twist: Drizzle with Buffalo sauce or hot honey.

• Savory Upgrade: Sprinkle with garlic powder or smoked paprika for extra depth.

Pro Tips for Best Results

• Flip the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

• For an extra crispy texture, spray with a little extra cooking spray before air frying.

• Use foil to cover the sides so they don’t overcook before the chicken is done.

• Want extra crunch? Cook the chicken at 400°F for the last 2 minutes.
