To prepare, these nuggets are typically cooked from a frozen state. They can be heated in an oven or a toaster oven for a crispier texture. A conventional oven is often recommended for even cooking and browning. Ensure they are heated thoroughly until they are hot throughout and the breading is golden brown. They can also be cooked in an air fryer for a faster, crispy result. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to allow for proper heat circulation.
