Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Nuggets

These are spicy!! Seasoned with chili powder, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika and dipped in hot sauce, not for wimpy taste-buds! I love buffalo-flavor anything, which is probably obvious by the many buffalo recipes I have on my blog. I decided to try my Baked Buffalo Chicken Nuggets recipe in the air fryer, and I must say they were delicious. The air fryer got the nuggets so crispy with minimal oil. If you love buffalo sauce as much as I do, make sure you try some of my other healthy buffalo appetizers, like Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Zucchini Skins, Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls, and Buffalo Chicken Dip.

Buffalo chicken nuggets ingredients:

  • Chicken: I use two boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-size chunks. You could also use boneless thighs if you prefer dark meat or cut the breast meat into long strips to make buffalo chicken tenders.
  • Spices: Season the chicken with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and black pepper.
  • Coating: Dip the chicken nuggets in hot sauce and then panko (gluten-free panko works too). I love Frank’s Red Hot, but feel free to use your favorite.
  • Olive Oil Spray: Spray the chicken with olive oil before air frying.

How long do you cook chicken nuggets in the air fryer?

Air fry the buffalo chicken nuggets for 8 minutes at 400 degrees flipping halfway. A spritz of olive oil with help crisp up the panko.

What to Serve with Buffalo Bites

I love to serve these buffalo chicken nuggets with the classic sides – celery and carrot sticks with blue cheese dressing. You can also eat them by themselves as a party appetizer or over lettuce with blue cheese dressing for a buffalo chicken salad.
