Even though I always prefer to cook chicken nuggets from scratch, sometimes you’ve gotta do what you gotta do. And allowing my kids to eat frozen chicken nuggets is a quick and easy way to get lunch or dinner on the table fast. The only ingredient you need for this recipe? Store-bought frozen chicken nuggets (veggie nuggets are a great alternative). That’s it. Use your favorite brand of chicken nuggets for this recipe. Veggie nuggets are a great alternative. Not only does it take a fraction of the time than cooking frozen nuggets in the oven, they come out perfectly crisp and golden, every time.
How to make air fryer frozen chicken nuggets
Pre-heat the air fryer then add the frozen chicken nuggets in a single layer to the air fryer basket. Cook the chicken nuggets for 12-15 minutes, flipping over half way through. We like our nuggets to be super crisp on the outside without being dry and over-cooked and we’ve found that 15 minutes is perfect. I always check the nuggets when I flip them over to make sure they’re not cooking too fast and if they are, I’ll reduce the cooking time by a minute or two.
