Chicken nuggets and fries
Chicken nuggets and fries is a quick fast food restaurant lunch or dinner idea that can be easily replicated at home. While I use my air fryer frozen chicken nuggets and fries for this recipe you can easily make these from scratch with chicken bites. You can also make it in the oven.
Ingredients
- 10 Pieces chicken nuggets
- 8 oz frozen fries
Instructions
Method 1 (cooking nuggets and fries together)
- Place chicken nuggets on one side of the air fryer basket and fries on the other side.
- Set temperature to 400°F (200°C) and air fry for 12 to 15 mins, shaking the basket at 5 mins intervals to ensure even cooking.
Method 2 (Cooking the nuggets and fries individually)
- Cook the chicken nuggets at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 mins or until heated through. Transfer to a plate.
- Add fries to same basket and air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 mins for think cut fries or 12 to 15 mins for crinkle cut fries. Add back the nuggets in the last minute so everything is nice and warm.
Notes
- No preheat needed. Cook from frozen
- For the first method, I recommend regular cut fries so that the regular cut fries not thick cut fries like steak fries or crinkle cut fries as this may have a longer cook time then the nuggets.
