Tips and tricks for the best honey garlic glazed chicken nuggets
- I know the package says to reheat the nuggets in the oven, but – for the ultimate crispiness – I like to use my air fryer!
- No air fryer? No problem! Just make sure to use a dark metal sheet pan, as those will absorb more heat and, consequently, radiate it off into your nuggets, meaning that they will get browner and crispier.
- Skip the parchment paper. I know, I know, who doesn’t love the convenience of not having to clean up a mess? But the nuggets will be crispier if they are in contact with the metal.
- Wait a couple of minutes to pour the glaze into the nuggets. They are not as crispy once they are out of the oven. But wait a couple minutes and voila: magic!
- Also, don’t pour hot glaze onto the nuggets as they will lose its crispiness. Wait for the glaze to cool to room temperature (or at least not as hot).
- Serve with steamed rice and broccoli for an Asian take-out style meal!
