Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag Frozen Chicken Nuggets & Fingers Choose your favorite brand.
Dipping Sauces
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise For mixing with sriracha or chipotle for a spicy dip.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey For honey mustard sauce.
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard Combine with honey to make honey mustard.
  • 1 cup BBQ Sauce A great complement for nuggets.
  • 1 cup Warm Cheese Dip Optional for serving.
  • 1 cup Garlic Herb Ranch Optional for serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer for 2-3 minutes to help achieve a crispy texture.
  2. Arrange the frozen chicken nuggets and fingers in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
Cooking
  1. Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  3. Check the chicken to ensure it is fully cooked (piping hot in the center) before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the basket for best results. If cooking a large batch, consider cooking in batches and keeping the first batch warm in a low oven until all, are done.
