Chicken breading
- frozen, deep fried nuggets
- cooking oil, for frying
If you froze a batch of deep-fried nuggets, you can just air fry them to warm them up and finish crisping them:
Take the nuggets out of the freezer and add a serving directly to the air fryer basket. Optionally spritz with oil.
Air fry for just 6 minutes at 400°F or until warmed through and crisp.
Proceed to the sauce & serve step.
