Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Nuggets
Making frozen chicken nuggets in an air fryer is so much better than in an oven! They're quicker to make and come out super crispy every time! Serve with your favorite dipping sauces!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Package frozen chicken nuggets of choice (no need to thaw the nuggets for this recipe)
Instructions
- No need to preheat the air fryer for this recipe. If you want super crispy chicken nuggets then you can preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 °F (200 °C) before putting the nuggets in.
- Arrange the chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. There should be some small spaces between each nugget for air flow. If you need to make two batches, rather do so instead of overcrowding the air fryer.1 Package frozen chicken nuggets of choice
- Air fry the chicken nuggets at 400 °F (200 °C) for 8 minutes.
- Flip the chicken nuggets and air fry for a further 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove the chicken nuggets and allow them to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving as they will be very hot!
Notes
Storage
Store any leftover chicken nuggets in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the microwave, oven or air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
These chicken nuggets do not stand up well to refreezing - make the amount of chicken nuggets you need each time to avoid waste.
