Cook:
- Place the frozen chicken nuggets in a single layer in your air fryer basket on top of the wire rack. With a wire rack, both sides will cook evenly, and flipping isn't always necessary.
- Air fry them at 400F for 6 to 8 minutes, adding 2 minutes of cooking time at a time if your nuggets are thicker. If you use an air fryer liner, you'll want to flip them over and cook the second side for the last 3 minutes or so.
Serve:
- Remove the cooked chicken nuggets from the air fryer using kitchen tongs and serve them warm with your favorite dips.
