Equipment
  • air fryer
Ingredients
For the Nuggets
  • 1 bag Frozen Dino Nuggets (24 oz)
  • Nonstick Cooking Spray
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Ketchup
  • 1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1 tsp Pickle Juice
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
Instructions
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Arrange the frozen dino nuggets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure none of them overlap. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping the nuggets halfway through cooking. They are done when the outside is golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • While the nuggets cook, make the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, pickle juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth and creamy.
  • Remove the nuggets from the air fryer and let them cool for 1 to 2 minutes so they firm up and are safe to eat. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
