Ninja Foodi Chicken Nuggets ~ Air Fryer Recipe 

I’m so glad I found you. What did I do without you and my ninja in my life!!!

Clear, not sale focused but offering good resources, seems honest and genuine. I like it. Long game required to get through the chicken trimming scene, but it’s worth the wait. Thank you for creating this.

You are truly the Ninja Foodie Goddess. Such a clear, simple and wonderfully detailed set of cooking instructions. Your cooking tutorials are the best !

I love this air fryer your video's are awesome I just found you and I'm going to keep you ty for sharing

You are AMAZING!!! I watch a lot of cooking shows and you are by far my FAVORITE!!! You are original, down-to-earth and a REAL FOODIE. A big thank you Louise

Louise these chicken nuggets and the buffalo sauce were heaven on a plate, un-chicken-licking-believable. In fact like every recipe I have ever tried of yours, including your Colcannon Soup which I made especially for my sadly dying uncle because he wasn't able to eat any of the horrible hospital food. Fed to him from my hot food flask, it was pretty much the only thing he actually enjoyed and finished and even had more the next day, so I will be forever grateful to you for that recipe. You are a true foodie goddess, you're educational, fun and inspiring to watch, and don't even get me started on your adorable and priceless reactions at the end when you taste the food! Thank you for being amazing, both you and Geoff. What a team. x

This is now a staple in my freezer. When I am home alone, I make a triple batch and freeze it. My college kids AF them and toss with their favorite sauce. THANK YOU!!!

These were AMAZING!! I will forever make air fryer chicken this way. Thank you for finding the perfect solution

oh my goodness, I can't wait to give this a try (especially the sauce!) Thanks for sharing!!

OMG! These are so easy to make & like you said they taste just like my favorite restaurant chicken nuggets! I did try the sauce, but I didn't quite nail it. I had to use a different hot sauce than you had but it was still pretty good! Sharing my experience with my instant pot aired-frier, I did pre-heat my instant pot air frier on broil for 10 minutes then canceled, then press the air frier button sprayed the basket with olive oil, place the 10 chicken nuggets in a single layer but had to put all the nuggets in all once because the way the lid lifts up on the instant pot's air frier & then sprayed the olive oil onto the nuggets then, closed the lid, made sure the temp was at 365 degrees, & set the timer to 10 minutes & after 5 minutes I turned & sprayed & they were done after 10 minutes. The first 10 nuggets were not as brown as I had hoped but I repeated this process 2 more times with 10 nuggets each time & then the next 10 was browner & then my last batch of 10 nuggets was a about the right brownness that I wanted. Although, ALL 30 nuggets were fully cooked & very tender no matter how brown I would have liked them to have been, but the brownness was more my preference. Just thought I would share that! Oh, this was my first ever trying out the air-frier of any kind because I just got my new 8 qt instant pot dual pressure cooker / air-frier. Looking forwarded to more of your amazing recipes to try out! You're an amazing, awesome, wonderful cook!

Those look great, can't wait to try them. I'm always looking for different things to do with chicken. And this one looks a winner :) Thanks Louise

Thoroughly enjoy all of your videos they are so informative.....You are my #1 Foodi-eee blogger!

Yummy. I can't wait to try this. Thanks.

Thank you Louise, they look absolutely wonderful 💜

I never thought of spritzing the nuggets Louise, I'll be doing that later, I always learn something new from you, thank you.

Hi The Salted Pepper. The recipe booklet that came with my Ninja Foodi was very basic. Your tutorials are brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. Proper, tasty food. I love your work.

I can’t wait to make these , and the Buffalo Sauce 👍 thanks Louise

Just tried this recipe and absolutely blown away! My kids love them!

My ninja foodi is being delivered tomorrow and I’ve become obsessed with your channel! Can’t wait to try so many of your yummy looking recipes! Thank you :)

Thankyou , I just got my ninja foodie and this video extremely helped me out, the preheat with broil with basket in I didn't even know, will make this tonight

I just made a bunch of these fresh and frozen. They are the best chicken nuggets I have ever had. I also used the breading to make onion rings and fried mushrooms. They are amazing!

This is a very helpful video! I can easier modify the breading seasoning to suit my family! And love how you share it with your camera man. Sharing is caring ❤️

The chicken nuggets look great with the sauce. Thanks for sharing this video.

Great show 👍🏿

Made these tonight and they were fabulous. This paired along with real potato fries in the ninja digital air fryer oven, we gobbled them up. Thank you for such a fun and delicious recipe.

I'm new to air fryer cooking; love your videos. Thanks!

Great video and thank you for sharing🤗🤗🤗🤗

Absolutely amazing--you did it! These are the best chicken nuggets I have ever eaten! I encourage EVERYONE to try this recipe! -Tom in Fort Lauderdale

Thanks louise just watched your chicken nuggets recipe just prior to bed time,now i know i must make some up for the freezer,this would be very handy, cheers.

These are so delicious! It’s so hard to get a perfectly crisp outside and tender inside but you did it! I made enough of these last night for my husband and I and then froze the rest to feed my grandson tonight. I got a thumbs up! I love watching all your videos. They really help me branch out, lol. Thank you! (Plus I have a lot of the same Pampered Chef items you have 😁)

Really enjoy your videos, very helpful since Im6new to the foodie, definitely a learning curve even if you know how to cook. Just showed my daughter this too. Thank you

I’m a big fan. Just got my NF today. I made a whole frozen chicken 60mins & Home made fries 15 mins. Love it. Greetings from Germany.

I love these chicken nuggets, thank you Louise x

Those look so delicious. Thanks for that recipe. I will be trying these real soon. If it wasn’t 4 in the morning, I’d go make them. Thanks again.

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🤗 My Grandbabies are going to be thrilled!!!!!

I just made these, and they were so good. It’s the first thing I made in my Foodie! It just arrived night before last.

Excellent video, excellent explanation. Liked, subscribed and commented!

Love your chicken nuggets I will be doing that recipe thanks

Another great job!

You are a great teacher.

Thank you so much. You gave me so many ideas. I wanted chicken strips and they turned out wonderful. I decided to try and find a recipe because I ruined catfish. The breading and the flour mix that you made that’s perfect and hopefully I won’t ever ruin another dish by winging it!

They look great, when i am bread crumbing i have invested in a box of latex gloves, they still clog up but you just whip them off at the end. No mess no fuss and are inexpensive. Happy new year and keep up the good cooking.

These look great! I’m going to try them & if my husband likes the batter, I’ll use it to make chicken fried steak the same way but for a longer time. I’ve been looking for a good air fryer batter! Thank you!

I’m definitely going to try these for my granddaughters. I like to buy free range organic chicken, but the nuggets we can buy in uk are barn chicken that never see the light of day so these will be amazing

Thx for the video my friend ☺

Omg made them and wow I love that badder recipe turned out amazing like never eating frozen chicken nuggets again haha😂😁merry Christmas to you and your family stay safe and warm. Love from Ohio sent your way ☃️🎄❤️

Hi Louise, Wow do those look good. I did make the blueberry sauce in my Ninja Foodie hot and cold blender. I had told you I was going to use fresh blueberries, but my store was out of blueberries, so I had to use frozen. I let them thaw completely and like when you were making the sauce, mine wouldn't boil either. So I cancelled the program and used the smooth soup setting. The blueberries started boiling almost immediately. I let them cook for about 10 minutes, then cancelled and used the smoothie setting. It turned out perfect. I used it for a dipping sauce for chicken tenders that I made in the air fryer. The blueberry BBQ sauce is delicious. My husband really liked it too. Thank You for the recipe.

I made the chicken nuggets today and my grandkids love them

Awwww that's lovely feeding Jeff as well Lou. Hed have hounded you until you did lol

Everything is very systematic and easy to understand.

I made these tonight with chicken thighs. I had my work cut out for me because I accidentally got bone in skin on but they still came out wonderful and would for sure make them again (with the right cut of chicken next time). Another great recipe! Thank you

UPDATE! I made these today and OMG! So freaking good. My mom loved them too! I used baking powder instead of flour and Cajun/plain pork rinds instead of regular bread crumbs to cut the carbs a bit and it came out delicious! I also made the Asian/garlic Parmesan/Buffalo sauce. So good! Thank you so much.

Planning on trying this recipe tonight for dinner 😊.

I've been making chicken tenders for my dad pool game every Wednesday and sunday for the past few weeks.

Really good nuggets. My 10 year old polished it off. Thank you!

I will try it tonight, i prepared them earlier and now they are in the freezer, can't wait!

You are so Wonderful!! Thank You so much!!

Thank you so much for everything you do 😊

Winner winner chicken dinner! hahhaa Looks great.

Ah, another lesson learned.... Looks a bit labor intensive, but surely worth the effort. Thank you Louise!

Thank you Louise!

Wow! People are RUDE and need a chill pill! Making these right now and can't wait to taste them. In spite of what other people say, I appreciate your being detailed. Anyone watching can certainly fast forward.

Hi! Try using Wondra for the flour. No sifting needed.

I want to try😉 so tasty

My husband is hooked on your channel as well as myself. He wants to know if you have or will do “Singapore noodles”? He’s really wanting to try this recipe in our new Ninja Foodi 8 qt😊

I don't think ill ever buy chicken nuggets ever again not after seeing how easy they are to make

Can't wait to try this! Question: What spritzer did you use? Thank you!

wish I had you as my partner in science / biology class, would have made dissecting the frogs a breeze. thanks for the videos

I swear we r food sisters I will cut every inch of that silver skin off. My husband laughs at me because when I eat chicken I wont even eat the veins🤯🤪

Wonderful recipe. We've been making this once a week since we tried it. If I used almond flour, would I use the same amount as regular flour?

I used a bottle of Chick fil a sauce! It’s the smoky honey mustard from Chick-fil-A

Louise, you really need to see Paris Hilton’s new cooking video. It’s like the entire Nightmare on Elm Street series rolled up into a short video. Vincent Price would be so proud.

Not bad. I did something simular with a combination of Coconut flour & Cornmeal wet batter. The other thing was, i cutthe chicken then used the food processor to chop it up . They came out like BK'S nuggets. The kids enjoyed them.

Louise, love your recipes and explanations. Can you tell me why you kept closing the lid between adding the nuggets? What would the negative effect be if you kept the lid opened until you have a single layer of nuggets? Not questioning your method, just trying to get a better understanding. ❤️

Save all the little bits and scraps, they make wonderful broth!

Louise, if I'm gonna make these ahead, to freeze, would I be able to use thawed chicken vs fresh? I normally buy mine frozen.. I was always under the impression that you shouldn't refreeze meat unless it had been cooked... The ones you froze in the video, was that thawed breast as well? 🤷‍♀️

Louise, looks fantastic,… really but a couple of questions. Not being a great fan of breaded, would the batter work on it’s own? Also, my wife not a great fan of hot sauce but got a great liking on Honey & Garlic wings when visiting Ontario, what would your variation/ take be on that? Thanks. Great vid.

I did these finally from frozen but used texas Pete mild buffalo already made sauce

Hello! I have one question: What do you use in order to clean the pot inside your Ninja Foodie? I fear that I would scratch and damage the pot while cleaning it. And thank you for your perfect recipe!

Just got my Foodi and was scared to use it lololol. I made some pork chops and messed them up. Not really done. I am learning a lot from you, so thank you for doing this and showing someone like me, that it is really not scary hehehehe.

you could use these for sweet & Sour chicken too. Thanks

Wondering if you would please provide information on the oil sprayer you use in this video?

how well do you think this would work for other items like mozzerella sticks and mushrooms? Thanks and can not wait to try this!

👍👍

Watched a QVC ad where they were selling the Ninja XL and the woman showed where she did, I think it was four chicken breast or it may have been four chicken thighs on the top rack. Carrots on the next rack and then rice in the bottom of the XL. A whole meal at one time. These are the kind recipes I would like to learn how to do. Do you have any videos of you doing combo meals like that? I've looked on your website and some of your other videos but didn't see any.

Can you add French fires at the same time? Sorry I am new.

What is that white tool you have to pick up chicken. Can’t find your link. TY

Instead of sifting the all purpose flour could I use Wonder which is pre-sifted?

Maybe a silly question Miss Pepper, but my timing is always terrible so how would you suggest that I can make your delicious looking chicken nuggets and french fries to serve at the same time for dinner tonight please ? Thanks Lisa

What are you using to spray oil? Is that a normal spay bottle or are there food grade bottles?

What kind of adjustments would I need to make to use the ninja Foodi grill?

Do you do one of these for the instant pot duo crisp?

Do you have the link for the spray bottle on amazon?

I just got my ninja foodi I put some nuggets in and used the aorfyer setting for 15 minutes. After that it automatically switched to bake instead of switching off. Is it how it's supposed to be?
