Celery Free Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Nuggets
Frozen chicken nuggets in the air fryer are one of those weeknight wins that never gets old — golden, shatteringly crisp on the outside and juicy all the way through. The air fryer does something genuinely magical here, circulating hot air around each piece so you get that deep-fried texture without a drop of oil. For anyone navigating a celery sensitivity or allergy, store-bought nuggets can be a minefield, since celery extract and celery seed are surprisingly common in processed coatings and seasonings. This recipe keeps things refreshingly simple — just your favorite bag of frozen nuggets and a hot air fryer. Flipping halfway through is the one small step that makes a big difference, ensuring every side gets that satisfying crunch. Serve them straight from the basket and watch them disappear fast.
