Fish Sticks in the Air Fryer

Cook frozen fish sticks straight from the freezer at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes. No thawing. Brand notes included.

400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, shake at 5.

1. 1

   Do not thaw. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.

2. 2

   Spread the frozen fish sticks in a single layer straight from the bag.

3. 3

   Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket at 5 minutes so nothing fuses together.

4. 4

   Follow the package directions and check the center for doneness. Browning alone does not show that raw meat or poultry is cooked safely.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
