Time Saving Tips

  • Always preheat the air fryer before adding anything to the basket for perfect results. As soon as the hot air hits the food, it immediately crisps the outside and seals in the juices, no matter what you’re cooking; meat, veggies, snack foods, or even whole eggs!
  • Chicken nuggets can be kept warm in an oven, if you are cooking frozen chicken nuggets in batches.
  • For this recipe, make multiple batches of chicken nuggets and keep them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Simply reheat them in the air fryer and serve hot.
