Blew my mind air frying frozen chicken takes exactly 12 minutes less than the bag says

I always followed the directions on the Tyson bag. 25 minutes at 400. Pulled it out dry as a bone every time. Looked up nutrition info on their website last week and saw a tiny note about air fryer temps being different. Tried 13 minutes at 380 and it came out juicy. Why would they print wrong times on the package. Anyone else catch this kind of thing?

Wait is that really true about the nutrition info on their website? I always figured the bag times were just super conservative for food safety reasons but 12 minutes is a HUGE difference.

Take it easy, it's really not THAT serious. I looked up the numbers myself and yeah, there's a difference but 12 minutes is if you're cooking from frozen AND following their EXTRA cautious guidelines for some special recipe. Most people just follow the bag directions and it's fine. The nutrition stuff is probably just a CYA move by their legal team anyway. You think they're gonna lose sleep over a minute or two on some chicken tenders? Nah, eat your tenders and move on with your life.
