Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 8-10 dino nuggets frozen
- dipping sauce: ranch, bbq sauce, ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer.Carefully add frozen dino chicken nuggets into the air fryer.Cook nuggets, flipping them over halfway through cooking time.Let them cool a little before enjoying them with some dip.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
- Once air fryer is preheated, carefully add frozen dino chicken nuggets keeping them in one layer (I can fit about 12).
- Cook the nuggets for 9-10 minutes. Set an alarm to remind you to flip them over halfway through cooking time. Nuggets should be browned and cooked through to 165°F.
- Let them cool a little before enjoying them with some dip.
Notes
- Don't thaw nuggets. Nuggets do not need to be thawed before cooking them in the air fryer.
- Space out nuggets. Make sure not to lay nuggets on top of each other or stack them. You want them in an even layer with a little space between them. I can fit about 12 in my air fryer.
- Check on food. If you are unsure on how the food is cooking, feel welcome to open the air fryer to check on the dino nuggets at any time.
- May need more or less time. All air fryers cook differently so the dino nuggets may need to cook a little less or a little longer. Add or subtract 1 minute at a time. I use the Cosori 5.8 quart basket style air fryer.
- No oil needed. You do not need to add any additional oil to these dinosaur nuggets.
- Will last. Heated dino nuggets will last about 2-3 days in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
