TENDER AIR FRYER CHICKEN NUGGETS



Tender Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets image

A reason we love cooking with an air fryer is that minimal oil is required to create a crunchy coating. It helps to give the satisfaction of fried foods with fewer calories. These tender chicken nuggets are crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Poultry seasoning contains thyme, sage, marjoram, rosemary, and nutmeg which adds flavor to the breading. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, like honey mustard or barbecue sauce. With these air fryer recipe, chicken nuggets aren't just for kids anymore.
