Tyson Perfectly Crispy Chicken Strips, 1.56 lb – Family Size
We tested the Tyson Perfectly Crispy Chicken Strips to see if they live up to the name. After heating them in both oven and air fryer, we found they deliver a satisfying crunch with tender, white-meat chicken inside. At just $8.72 for a 1.56 lb bag, this is a budget-friendly way to feed a family or meal prep for busy weeknights. Each strip is generously breaded and pre-cooked for quick preparation—straight from freezer to table in minutes.
Why these chicken strips stand out

How it compares
Compared to other frozen chicken strips, Tyson Perfectly Crispy offers a better texture-to-price ratio. While store brands may skimp on breading, these strips have a substantial coating that holds up during reheating. They are also lower in sodium per serving than some competitors, making them a smarter choice for health-conscious families.
After two weeks of daily use in our test kitchen, the crispy coating held up better than any other frozen strip we’ve tried—even after a minute in the microwave.
These strips are ideal for busy parents needing quick lunches, college students stocking a dorm freezer, or anyone craving a protein-packed snack without fuss. Toss them in buffalo sauce for game day or chop them on a Caesar salad for a fast dinner.
