    Using the Air Fryer- whichever model you have- is so easy and makes such tasty foods! I love the convenience and how fast air fryers are at cooking!

    Whether its chicken nuggets, bagel bites, egg rolls, frozen burritos, or even pancakes- I love using my air fryer! Saves me so much time and doesn’t heat up the entire house!

    Air fryer chicken nuggets, or the kids favorite air fryer dino nuggets, are so easy to make you’ll never want to bake them again.

    How to cook dino nuggets in air fryer?

    Line the nuggets in a single layer if possible.

    Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes. Shaking or flipping the nuggets halfway through cooking.

    How long to air fry chicken nuggets?

    Chicken nuggets follow the same process as dino nuggets, and so cook them for 10 minutes at 400°F, flipping halfway though cooking.

    Where to find Dino Nuggets?

    You can find Dino nuggets at most grocery stores in the freezer isle, just keep in mind the brand might differ depending on what store you are at. I love the Tyson Dino nuggets but have used different brands too!

    Does it matter which Air Fryer model you have?

    No. If you have a basket model just shake the basket half way through cooking.

    If you have one like mine with trays, I like to put the tray on the lowest shelf, because if it’s higher then they tend to get too crispy and over cooked.

    How to make a large batch of dino nuggets?

    I would make the nuggets in batches, but keep any cooked nuggets wrapped in foil to retain heat.

    Although dino nuggets won’t replace my favorite homemade chicken tender, they sure are a tasty easy treat to get you through the week!

    Notes

    Tips and Tricks
    If you have an air fryer like the instant vortex, you will want to position the air fryer tray at the lowest position, or if you are making more than one tray, switch tray positions half way through air frying so the top tray doesn’t get overcooked.
