Quick and easy, with minimal prep and cleanup
Ingredients
1 package of BetterGoods Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets (frozen)
Cooking spray or parchment liner (to prevent sticking)
1 tsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
½ tsp garlic powder (optional, for enhanced flavor)
½ tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky touch)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures the nuggets start crisping up immediately when they hit the hot air.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Nuggets
Remove the frozen nuggets from the packaging and place them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow for even cooking.
Lightly spray with cooking spray to help achieve a golden, crispy crust.
If desired, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and paprika for extra flavor.
Step 3: Air Fry the Chicken Nuggets
Cook at 375°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping the nuggets halfway through for even crisping.
For extra crunch, cook an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F in the final stage.
The nuggets should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, while the inside remains juicy and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Transfer the crispy chicken nuggets to a plate and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch, or ketchup.
How to Serve These Chicken Nuggets
Classic Meal: Pair with French fries and coleslaw for a classic crispy chicken meal.
Kid-Friendly Lunch: Serve with apple slices, carrot sticks, and a side of ranch.

Pro Tips for Best Results
Flip the nuggets halfway through cooking to ensure an even crisp on both sides.
For a spicier kick, sprinkle with cayenne pepper or toss in hot sauce before serving.
Use parchment paper or a silicone liner for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
Want extra crispy nuggets? Increase the heat to 400°F for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
