Ingredients

  • 16 chicken nuggets previously cooked

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 350F / 180C.
  • Place leftover chicken nuggets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes or until heated through, turning the nuggets over halfway through the cooking time.

Notes

  • No extra oil is needed when reheating chicken nuggets. 
  • Spraying the nuggets with a small amount of oil can make them crisp up more. 
  • Got leftover McDonald’s nuggets? This method works with leftover homemade, frozen, or drive-through nuggets. 
  • Place in a single layer and allow space between the nuggets to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Turn the nuggets over halfway through cooking time.
  • Storage - keep leftover chicken nuggets in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 5 Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving (using nutritional information for McDonald's chicken nuggets).
