    Making homemade Chicken Nuggets in the air-fryer is so much healthier than fast food or frozen nuggets, and so easy to make. Made with chunks of chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese then air fried until golden and crisp. These also happen to be egg-free, so they are also great for kids with egg allergies.,Chicken nuggets are the ultimate kid friendly finger food! But adults love them too. In fact, I was super happy to test out my original oven Baked Chicken Nugget Recipe in my air-fryer. The results came out excellent in the air fryer, they were crispier and took half the time. Whichever way you make them, they will still taste great.,Alt=,An air fryer is a counter top kitchen appliance that cooks by circulating hot air around food with a mechanical fan at high speed, cooking the food and producing a crispy layer similar to frying, but without all the oil.,Traditional frying cooks by completely submerging foods in hot oil. The air fryer works alternatively by coating food in a thin layer of oil while circulating air heated up cooks foods like potato chips, chicken, fish, pork chops, french fries or even baked goods, with 70% and 80% less oil than a traditional deep-fryer.,Start with organic chicken, when possible. Trim any excess fat and cut the chicken into equal bite-sized pieces.,Preheat the air fryer to 400F.,Dont overcrowd the air fryer basket, cook them in batches as needed.,Spray the chicken lightly with oil to get a golden crust.,Turn the chicken half way, the bottom browns more than the top. This will ensure even, golden cooking on both sides.
