I love the just bare chicken nuggets, but I don’t love the price. I have historically struggled with homemade chicken nugget recipes that have a lighter breading, so when I saw this recipe, it looked easy and promising! i liked it, and it was super easy to throw together! definitely crispy and crunchy, I was personally not thrown off by the canned chicken.
- drain and rinse a 4oz can of chicken
- add to bowl, mash chicken to become finely shredded in texture, squeeze out excess liquid
- to that bowl, also add 1tbsp of egg whites, 2 tbsp shredded low fat cheese, 1.5 tbsp parmesan (cheap powdery stuff don’t get fancy), some zero cal buffalo sauce and ranch powder if you’d like
- mix together well, form into chicken nuggets, place on lined baking sheet
air fry at highest setting (mine is 400f), flipping occasionally, until you think they look good. for my very first flip, I did have to use a spatula to maintain the shape whilst flipping, but they still turned out great and held their weight beautifully, so don’t be scared if that happens to you.
The fries were just Alexia brand fries that I had lying around, about 110 g air fried

Dang these look great. Def trying
Wow those look amazing and the macros are great im definitely gonna try it
Looks yum! The air fryer has been so instrumental in letting me have my favorite “fried” foods and sticking to my calorie goals. I bucked the trend for so long “It’S jUSt A cOnvEcTIOn OvEN.” I was so wrong. I cannot recommend a basket style (makes a difference) air fryer enough!
