Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets
What kid (and most adults too) don’t absolutely love chicken nuggets? Unfortunately, most premade frozen ones are fried in unhealthy oils and are loaded with preservatives. And don’t get me started on certain fast food chains where I’m not even certain what is mixed in with the chicken…. Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets are here to quash these woes and they bring the taste too! Bonus points they freeze well for future consumption!
