Air Fryer Nuggets with Spicy Chick-Fil-A Sauce
7 steps
Prep:5minCook:15min
Air fryer nuggets are always a classic and paired with this spicy Chick-fil-A sauce, it's a perfect combination! Plus this recipe can be made in under 30 minutes making it a quick and easy go to meal. I also like to make the sauce first and place in the fridge, so it has time to set. The sauce will last up to 5 days in the fridge, if it's not gone before that!
I skip using flour in the air fryer because I believe it just doesn't air fry the same as if you were frying it, so I like to use a mix of breadcrumbs. This will help give it that nice crispy crunch on the outside and still keep it juicy and tender on the inside.
Feel free to play around with the seasonings as you can make this your own very easily!
