Tips for the Best Chicken Nuggets
Know your air fryer: Just like every oven is different, the same goes for every air fryer. My model is likely different from yours. Be sure to follow the manual and instructions for your air fryer. Use cooking time as a reference point.
Don’t preheat: There’s no need to preheat the air fryer. Just add the nuggets to the basket and turn the unit on.
Don’t thaw: Chicken nuggets, french fries, pizza rolls, and other convenience foods can be cooked frozen.
Don’t overcrowd: Overcrowding will leave you with chicken nuggets that are unevenly cooked and possibly soggy. For the best results, add the nuggets in a single layer with a little space around for the hot air to circulate for the crispiest nuggets!
