Air Fryer Fish and Chips
Fish and chips has got to be one of the best and easiest meals to prepare in your Air Fryer! It becomes a 15 minute dinner, exactly what you need on a busy weeknight. This kid-friendly meal only requires two ingredients, both of which can be bought and stored in the freezer for a no-effort meal prep!
This is the perfect meal for the air fryer. Just like frozen mozzarella sticks in air fryer, these frozen fish filets and fries are perfect for this quick, hot cooking method. The crispy breading has a beautiful crunch while the fish stays super tender and flaky, never dry! The fries (or “chips”) come out fluffy on the inside with the perfect crisp crust on the outside. You can turn these frozen goods into a classic dinner in no time with this easy recipe.
