To prepare, heat the chik’n filet in an oven, air fryer, or skillet until it is heated through and the breading is crispy. For an oven, preheat to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. In an air fryer, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. On the stovetop, pan-fry in a little oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
How it differs from similar foods
