Instructions

  • Lightly spray air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking. Preheat air fryer if required.
  • If storing leftovers, place nuggets in a Ziplock bag, use a straw to remove excess air, and label with date.
  • Place frozen chicken nuggets in a single layer in the basket, making sure they don't overlap. Set air fryer to 400°Fahrenheit (200°Celsius) and cook for 8 minutes.
  • Flip nuggets with tongs halfway through cooking. Cook for another 4 minutes until golden and crispy.
