Ingredients
Ingredients
- Frozen chicken nuggets (about 12-16 pieces)
- Cooking spray (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- 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 properly.
- Air fry the nuggets: Cook the nuggets for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the nuggets halfway through the cooking time. This ensures all sides become crispy and evenly heated.
- Check for doneness: Make sure the nuggets are heated through and have reached a crispy, golden-brown color before removing them.
- Serve immediately: Transfer the cooked nuggets to a plate 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 the frozen nuggets.
- Shaking or flipping the nuggets halfway through cooking helps to achieve even crispiness.
- Optional cooking spray can be used to enhance crispiness but is not necessary.
- Serve with your choice of dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or barbecue sauce for added flavor.
