Ingredients
Ingredients
- Frozen chicken nuggets – 1 package (about 20 pieces)
- Cooking spray (optional) – as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange the nuggets: Place the frozen chicken nuggets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate and crisp up the nuggets evenly.
- Air fry the nuggets: Cook the nuggets for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Check for doneness: Ensure the nuggets are heated through and have reached a crispy, golden exterior. Cooking times may vary depending on nugget size and air fryer brand.
- Serve immediately: Remove the nuggets from the air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or barbecue sauce.
Notes
- Cooking time may vary depending on the size and brand of chicken nuggets.
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray the nuggets with cooking spray before air frying.
- Serve with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or barbecue sauce for added flavor.
