Notes
Serving Sauces: We love to serve these up with our favorite dipping sauces: fry sauce, Chick Fil A sauce, ketchup, ranch or even bbq sauce. Serve them up in little ramekins and it makes the meal so much fun to eat.
No Oil Needed: No need to spray the nuggets with oil for this recipe. They will crisp up perfectly without any additional oil or sprays.
Don't Crowd Nuggets or They Will Steam: With all recipes made in the air fryer, don't crowd them at all. Remember how the air fryer works with the heat circulation AROUND each piece of food. When you pile them up, they will get soggy and not crisp up for you. Some fries you can double layer if there is good air flow but for the most part, stick to allowing good air flow between all pieces of food.
How Long to Cook: For the specific Dino version (not regular chicken nuggets) the best thing is to cook at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Check your AF at 6 minutes to make sure they aren't getting too done.
Reheating: Cook them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes. Reheat in the toaster oven for 2-3 minutes as well.
Easy Clean Up: Make clean up even easier by using a parchment liner or the reusable AF liners.
