Ingredients

  • 20 pieces frozen chicken nuggets

Instructions

  • Place the chicken nuggets onto the baking tray. Add the number of chicken nuggets you are cooking to the air fry tray.
  • Preheat the air fryer and cook. Set the air fryer to 400°F. It only takes a couple of minutes to preheat. Place the rack into the air fryer and air fry for 5 minutes. Flip using tongs. Air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Serve. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Chicken nuggets are best served with sauce! Try honey mustard, BBQ, sweet and sour, ranch, ketchup, salsa, or any of your favorite sauces.
  • Don't crowd your air fryer. To get that perfect crispy outside, you'll want to make sure there's space around each nuggets so they can cook evenly.
  • These cook quickly! Much quicker than the oven, so set a timer and keep a close eye on these.
