What it is

The chicken is typically formed into uniform shapes for consistent cooking. The breading provides a crispy exterior when heated.

To prepare, these chicken nuggets can be heated in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer. For best results, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Bake until they are golden brown and heated through. This ensures the breading becomes crispy and the chicken is fully cooked. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface, as this can lead to uneven heating and a less desirable texture.
