Bake for 10-15 minutes at 220✬/430✯ until golden brown, crisp and tender.Ĭan I make chicken nuggets in the air fryer?Ībsolutely.
Place the breaded chicken on a wire rack and drizzle with oil. Baking: If you prefer baking the nuggets, coat the chicken in seasoned bread crumbs instead of flour (panko breadcrumbs add great crunch) after coating in egg.Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a large baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. I prefer using a Dutch oven set over medium-high heat but a large skillet or pan can be used too. Fry: Fry the chicken nuggets in batches in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes.For a thicker coating, repeat the breading step. Coat the chicken pieces first in the flour then in the egg mixture and again in the flour. Combine the flour with all the seasonings in a shallow medium bowl and whisk together with a fork.
Bread the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks.Flour. Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed.
Feel free to add other spices of your choice but I like keeping it simple. Not only are they super easy but use only pantry essentials. These are the best chicken nuggets you can make at home.
