Freezer Chicken Nuggets

These chicken nuggets are great for a meal or snack, and can be reheated in the air fryer straight from the freezer. They are much tastier and healthier than the typical chicken nuggets you get in your freezer section, and they're cheaper too.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400F, and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper

Step 2

Wash your sweet potato, cut off the ends (but don't peel it), and cut into large chunks. Cut the onion into large chunks. Add both to a food processor, and blend until you have a "riced" consistency

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine together all the ingredients except the chicken. Mix until fully combined. Oat or almond flour will work in place of casein; I just like to add some more protein. Optionally, add some sugar free syrup (or any other sweetener) for sweet and spicy nuggets

Step 4

Add in the chicken, and mix with your hands until fully combined. It should be pretty sticky

Step 5

Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop meatballs onto your pans. I can fit 15 on a standard sized cookie sheet. Lightly wet your fingers, and flatten into even discs. Each nugget should be about 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick and 2 inches in diameter, with about 1 inch between each one

Step 6

Bake at 400F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway, or until one side is lightly browned and the internal temperature is at least 165F. Transfer to a wire rack to cool as you do the other batches

Step 7

Once the nuggets have cooled, arrange them in a single layer on a parchment lined plate. Freeze them, uncovered, until they have frozen solid, at least 2 hours. This will help them not stick together in the bags

Step 8

Reheat straight from the freezer using the air fryer at 400F for about 5 minutes, or until browned and hot. You can also use the microwave or oven
