But this homemade chicken nuggets recipe is so easy, you\u2019ll skip the store-bought stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The best part about this recipe is just how effortless it is.

Place the cooled nuggets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze for one hour. Move the nuggets to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They\u2019ll last in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you reheat chicken nuggets?<\/h2>\n<p>You can reheat chicken nuggets in a microwave, oven or air fryer.

Or, preheat an air fryer to 350\u00b0, place the chicken nuggets in the basket, spray with cooking spray, and cook for three to four minutes, flip, and cook a few minutes more as needed.
