1. Take the desired number of frozen nuggets you want to cook from the freezer bag.
2. In the air fryer basket, place the nuggets (there’s no need for oil unless you would absolutely prefer to use some).
3. Allow the frozen chicken nuggets to cook in the air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes at 400F/204C. If you’re working with vegetarian nuggets, the cooking time should be around 6 to 8 minutes.
4. Take the nuggets out of the air fryer, by now they’re ready to eat and you can serve with a dipping sauce of your choice.

As you can see, this is a very quick and easy way to get a tasty meal on your plate. The entire cooking time is 12 minutes, and there is zero prep involved in the process. If you’d like to see more ways to cook frozen chicken nuggets in the air fryer, then we recommend this video recipe.
