Air Fryer Golden Butter Chicken Nuggets are a delicious and healthier alternative to deep-fried chicken nuggets. Made with tender chicken breast pieces coated in a golden mixture of seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, these nuggets are cooked to crispy perfection in the air fryer. This recipe combines the savory flavors of fresh thyme, Parmesan, and butter with a subtle tang from BBQ sauce and sour cream, making it a family-friendly dish that's sure to please.
- For the best results, ensure that the chicken breast pieces are cut uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the nuggets to make sure they cook evenly.
- Spray the basket of the air fryer lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- If you like extra crispy nuggets, cook them for an additional 2-3 minutes, checking frequently to avoid burning.
- Feel free to experiment with additional spices or herbs in the bread crumb mixture to suit your taste preferences.
- Serve the nuggets immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
