Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 5 minutes with the basket in place.
  • For frozen chicken nuggets: place the frozen nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overlap). Cook at 390°F for 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking (after about 6 minutes).
  • For frozen chicken strips: place the frozen strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket (do not overlap). Cook at 390°F for 18 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through cooking (after about 9 minutes).
  • If all pieces do not fit in a single layer, cook in additional batches rather than stacking.
  • Remove the cooked nuggets or strips when crispy and heated through, then serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
