    FAQs and Expert Tips

    Why are my chicken nuggets dry?

    Overcooking the chicken nuggets will make them dry. Every air fryer is different, and my gourmia air fryer usually cooks the chicken nuggets in 10-12 minutes.

    Do I need to add oil when cooking the chicken nuggets?

    No need to use oil when cooking the chicken unless you want to.
