Chicken nuggets with a honey mustard dipping sauce. Air fry until golden brown.

I tried the Ingham's 'Airmazing' Chicken Nuggets from Woolworths. Pretty good for air fried chicken nuggets. Made up a quick honey mustard sauce to dip them with.

There's a bit of 'air fryer' branding on the packaging. But honestly they taste the same as any other frozen chicken nuggets from the grocery store.

Thawed or Frozen?

Frozen! You'll want to air fry these chicken nuggets straight from frozen. No need to thaw.

Prepare your air fryer

Add enough chicken nuggets to cover your air fryer basket. You don't want to overcrowd the basket otherwise they won't brown as evenly. If you're cooking the whole bag, then you'll want to do so in batches.

Air fry for 200°C / 400°F for 10 min. Then take the out the basket and give them a shake to flip over most of the nuggets.

Then air fry for another 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

These were good. It's missing that 'deep fryer' crunch, but a they have a nice bite to them.

Let them cool for a minute before laying into them.

Serve with Honey Mustard sauce

Made up a quick honey mustard dipping sauce. In a small bowl combine equal parts of:

  • honey
  • yellow mustard
  • mayo

Give it a quick stir, and you're good to go!

From frozen to ready to eat in under 15 min. Great snack to have stored away in the deep freeze. Prep your dipping sauce while they cook in the air fryer.
