Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Spray basket with non stick spray. Pour contents of bag into basket and close.
Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through to your liking. As you well know there is quite a variety of chicken pieces when you used bagged. Smaller bits will get crispier while those big ones may take a bit longer and you may want to spray larger ones to crisp up better.
If your chicken and sauce is separate then just cook chicken for 10 shaking basket halfway through and pour sauce on when done.
* Homemade recipe you will air fry frozen popcorn chicken for about 8 minutes at 340 degrees F or until heated through, shaking basket halfway thru. Then make homemade sauce heating on stovetop until a rolling bowl, then pour on top and enjoy.
