Air Frying the Nuggets:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Arrange the gluten-free nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket. For extra crispiness, lightly spray the nuggets with cooking spray.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the nuggets halfway through until they’re crispy and golden. Use a food thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Pan Frying the Nuggets:
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil or olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the nuggets in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
Make sure the nuggets are cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F before serving.
Whether you air fry or pan fry, both methods will give you crispy gluten-free chicken nuggets that are perfect for your salad.
