Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets

Welcome to my Air Fryer chicken nuggets.

It wasn’t until I watched a television show with Jamie Oliver that I changed my opinion on how I eat chicken nuggets. Before then I would eat them all the time and quite often when I shouldn’t.

I would buy the supermarket own brand ones and stick them in the Air Fryer and because I wasn’t deep frying them I felt they were healthy. I would also buy them from fast food places and it felt like the perfect small side dish and I really didn’t see them as anything but a bit of chicken to go with a meal.

After all chicken is healthy right?

Well wrong!

After watching this Jamie Oliver show I soon realised how bad they were. He showed how they were made for these schools and for these ready meals and in a nutshell it was the bad part of the chicken that was left in the machine that was disgusting and that you wouldn’t even feed to your dog.

Yet we had all been eating them for years and after watching that I never bought a supermarket chicken nugget again! But I still loved chicken nuggets so I put together a new recipe to make them in the Air Fryer and since then have not looked back.

This is that recipe so enjoy!
