Air fryer chicken nuggets have become a popular dish in recent years, offering a healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried nuggets. This crispy and flavorful dish has its roots in the classic American comfort food, with a modern twist. Chefs and home cooks alike have embraced the air fryer as a convenient and efficient way to achieve that perfect golden crunch without the need for excessive oil. The best versions of this dish can be found in family-friendly restaurants and fast-food chains across the United States, where they are often served with a variety of dipping sauces.
