Ingredients

12 frozen chicken nuggets (your favorite brand)

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400F / 200c.
Once preheated, place the frozen chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Set to cook at 400F / 200c for 12 minutes.
Remove when crispy and golden brown.

Notes

For best results, preheat your air fryer before adding the ingredients. If your air fryer doesn't have a preheat function, run it at 400F / 200c for 5 minutes before adding them in.
Cook the nuggets in a single layer. If you need to cook them in a couple of batches, you can keep the cooked ones in a warm oven until ready to serve.
If the nuggets slightly overlap in the basket, you'll need to flip them over halfway through the cooking to achieve the best result.
The cooking time is a guide, as air fryer models can vary. Check for doneness after about 15 minutes.
Nutritional values will vary depending on what brand of chicken nuggets you use.
