Who else loves chicken nuggets?
Sharing a secret but I used to go through the drive through window at McD’s and pick up a small order of chicken nuggets when I was out running errands.
Not all the time, but I did like to dip those crunchy nuggets in honey mustard sauce. Now fast forward 10 years and celiacs disease and that is definitely not happening anymore.
So what is a girl supposed to do then?
Well this gluten-free girl heard all about air fryers. Saw all the photos on Pinterest showing crunching chicken wings and crunchy chicken nuggets. I wondered if it could be true? Could an air fryer really make what I was seeing? Could this gluten-free girl make her own chicken nuggets?
Well, YES!
An air fryer really does make the best chicken nuggets without using very much oil. The nuggets are crunchy on the outside and tender in the inside.
Are you ready to make some gluten-free, low-carb chicken nuggets?
