    Want a quick and easy meal on a busy weeknight? Throw some frozen chicken nuggets in the air fryer and you’re good to go. Way better than deep frying or baking in the oven for a long period of time. If you love air fryer recipes you need to try these air fryer turkey wings, air fryer breaded shrimp, and these delicious air fryer scallops.

    How To Make Frozen Chicken Nuggets In The Air Fryer

    1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
    2. Place the amount of chicken nuggets you want to make in the air fryer and cook for 11-12 minutes. Make sure to flip the chicken nuggets halfway through the cooking process.
    3. Enjoy with honey mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce!

    Top Tips

    • Don’t defrost the chicken nuggets. Place the frozen chicken nuggets directly in the preheated air fryer.
    • Enjoy with honey mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce.

    Can You Air Fry Chicken Nuggets And Fries At The Same Time?

    Yes, of course. Although French fries may take a bit longer to cook, feel free to cook them at the same time and remove the chicken nuggets a few minutes earlier.

    What Type Of Air Fryer Should I Use?

    You can use any brand or type of air fryer!
