Ingredients

1 pound chicken nuggets 28-30 pieces
3 tablespoons honey mustard or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Please see note if your air fryer is 4-quart and below.
Have the frozen chicken nuggets ready.
Add a single layer of frozen chicken nuggets into the preheated air fryer. Then, air fry frozen chicken nuggets for 8-10 minutes until slightly golden. Flip halfway for even cooking. If you want them extra crispy, cook for another 2-4 minutes.
Serve and enjoy your air fryer frozen chicken nuggets with your choice of dipping sauce! Ketchup, ready-made barbecue sauce, and honey mustard sauce are all great options.

Notes

For compact air fryers like the Ninja Foodi 4-Quart Basket Air Fryer, it is recommended to reduce the cooking temperature by 20°F or 10°C, or decrease the cooking time by 1-2 minutes. Smaller air fryers tend to be hotter because the heating element is closer to the food.
If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test cooking frozen chicken nuggets in the air fryer. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the amount of nuggets you’re making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
