Ingredients

  • 20 chicken nuggets already cooked

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C, according to the instructions for your specific model.
  • Add the chicken nuggets to the air fryer basket, keeing them in a single layer.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes or until heated through and they reach an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F or 74 degrees C (use a meat thermometer to check).
  • Turn the nuggets over after a minute or two of cooking so they crisp evenly on both sides. 

Notes

  • There is no need to use oil to reheat chicken nuggets in air fryer.
  • But, if you want crispier nuggets, you can spray with a small amount of oil. 
  • This method works for reheating any kind of nuggets, such as McDonald's, Wendy’s, or your favorite drive-thru nuggets. 
  • Don’t overlap the chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket. 
  • Halfway through cooking, turn the nuggets over so they cook evenly. 
  • Storage - leftover chicken nuggets can be stored in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 5 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
