Learn how to cook frozen burgers in the air fryer that yield juicy, flavorful burgers without the mess or time constraints of a grill. No thawing needed!
Place the frozen burger patties in a single layer in the air fryer. Brush with one tablespoon of sauce each.
Air fry for 6 minutes, flip, and cook for another 6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Remove the burgers from the air fryer and assemble into burger buns, cheese, and slaw.
Notes
Burger patties: The frozen patties pictured are my healthy burgers. I tested this with bison burgers, ground chicken burgers, and veggie burgers, and they all work too. Of course, store-bought frozen patties work too.
Cooking time: 4-ounce burgers take 12 minutes to cook. For larger patties, increase the air frying time, check the internal temperature, and ensure it reaches 160°F.
To assemble: Burger buns, slaw, cheese, mayo, and lettuce.
Leftovers: Keep in the fridge for four days, covered. I don't recommend refreezing them once they've been air-fried.
