What it is

To prepare, these nuggets are typically cooked from a frozen state. They can be baked in an oven until golden brown and heated through, or cooked in an air fryer for a crispier result. Pan-frying is also an option, though care should be taken to avoid overcooking. Ensure the nuggets are thoroughly heated before serving. They are best served hot, straight from the cooking appliance.
