How to make Air Fryer Dino Nuggets

I have to say – these dinosaur chicken nuggets are delicious! Crunchy on the outside and hot & meaty on the inside! But be sure to add the parchment paper to make clean up easier than a conventional oven. And while you’re cooking dino nuggets – whip up a dipping sauce!

  1. Open bag and remove frozen dino nuggets from bag. Place on parchment sheet into air fryer basket spaced apart by 1/2″ in a single layer.
  2. Air fry at 360º for 8 minutes.
  3. Remove and serve with favorite dipping sauce! I mixed mayo & buffalo wing sauce together for a tasty dip for these dinosaur nuggets!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

How do you store and reheat leftover Tyson dino nuggets?

Store leftovers in an airtight container (I like these glass ones) in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for 4-5 minutes. 

Is the time the same as regular chicken nuggets?

Yeah – pretty much – little guys like this are 8 minutes.

Do different brands take the same amount of time?

Yes – it’s all about the size more than the brand. These are about 2-3″ x 1.5″ – if you’re nuggets are about that size – the time and temp are the same.

Can I put french fries in with the chicken nuggets?

Yes – but they might take a few minutes longer. Crinkle fries take 10-12 min at 400º – so start the fries for 4 minutes at 400º – then add the nuggets and turn the temp down to 360º and cook for 7 minutes. Tater tots and sweet potato fries should take about the same time.
