Ingredients
- 16 oz chicken nuggets about 450 grams, frozen
Instructions
- Depending on the model you are using, preheat your air fryer as per the manufacturer's instructions if necessary.
- Next, place the frozen chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket or rack. Set the temperature to 400°F / 200°C and air fry for 10 to 12 mins or until done, checking halfway through and flipping the nuggets, so they cook evenly. Serve these air fryer frozen chicken nuggets with some dipping sauce, a salad, or your favorite side dish.

Notes
- You do not need to preheat your air fryer if using the Ninja Foodi, Cosori or Gourmia air fryers. For other brands, read the manufacturer's instructions to see whether or not to preheat.
- Do not overcrowd the basket, rather, place the chicken nuggets in a single layer inside the basket.
- Check mid-cooking and flip the nuggets or shake your air fryer basket so they cook evenly.
- Increase the cooking time by a few more minutes if the nuggets are not crispy enough after the 10-12 minutes are over.
- Nutritional information is an estimate, calculated using tools that will use. It will therefore differ, depending on the product you use.
