Air fryer chicken nuggets have swiftly become a favourite in many households, combining the delightful crunch of traditional frying with a fraction of the oil. To prepare these delicious morsels, start by marinating bite-sized pieces of chicken breast in a mixture of buttermilk and your choice of herbs and spices for extra flavour. Once they’ve soaked up the seasoning, coat them in a mixture of breadcrumbs and perhaps a hint of Parmesan cheese for that extra crispy texture.
Preheat your air fryer, and then place the nuggets in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly. With settings typically around 200°C (about 400°F), they’ll be ready in just 10-15 minutes, emerging golden brown and beautifully crispy on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. Serve them up with a side of sweet chilli sauce or classic BBQ dip for a snack that’s bound to please both kids and adults alike. A delightful, guilt-free treat that’s perfect for any day of the week!
