Helpful Tips

  • Can you air fry the chicken nuggets instead of baking them?  Yes of course! Air fry at 300 degrees for 10 minutes or until they are warm.
  • Can you use store bought honey butter? Absolutely! That would make this recipe even easier. Just warm the honey butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds before using to make it easier to spread.
