Notes

– For a more textured nugget, you can use finely chopped chicken breast instead of ground chicken.
– If the mixture is sticky when shaping, wetting your hands with a bit of water can make the process easier.
– Ensure the nuggets are placed in a single layer in the air fryer and not touching to ensure even cooking.
– If you don’t have corn flour, you can use breadcrumbs, Panko, or crushed corn flakes as alternative coatings for a different texture.
– Leftover chicken nuggets can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
