Equipment
- Air fryer
Ingredients
- 18 pieces Frozen Chicken Nuggets
Instructions
- Pour Frozen Chicken Nuggets into the basket of your air fryer. It should be in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Set Temperature to 400°F and timer to 12 mins then press start.
- Shake basket or flip nuggets half way through.
- When cooking time is complete, check if it has crisped to your desired texture and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- If cooking refrigerated nuggets and not frozen, it takes 10 mins. (Please note, I am not referring to reheating previously air fried nuggets that is stored in the refrigerator. I already explained that in the body of the post)
- My Air Fryer crisps up frozen nuggets in 12 mins hence the need to mention that you check if yours has crisped to your taste. You can always add more time if needed.
- If cooking a crowd, you will need cook in batches and you should know that the subsequent batches from the first will cook faster by a minute because the air fryer is has been preheated, so keep an eye on subsequent batches.
