Homemade Air-Kissed Chicken Nuggets

My kids love chicken nuggets, so I wanted to make a healthier, more nutrient-dense version at home. These nuggets use simple ingredients you likely already have on hand and require minimal prep, making them perfect for busy families. Cooked in the air fryer, they get a golden, crispy crunch without the extra oil—ideal for a quick lunch, family dinner, or snack.
