Find out how to reheat Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets in an air fryer! In my opinion, it makes it taste even better!
I hate microwaved food, so I don’t eat a lot of leftovers for this reason. It seems soggy and loses all the crispiness. Sometimes, it gets chewy and just doesn’t taste good!
The boys don’t mind to microwave things, so nothing really goes to waste, but I kept thinking there has to be a better way.
We eat a lot of Chick-Fil-A nuggets because it’s near one of my doctor’s offices that I go to about once a month. It’s my go-to and I typically bring home a 30 count tray of nuggets. I make our own sides, but we always seem to have chicken nuggets leftover.
I never ate them.
Until the day I decided to reheat them in my air fryer! They were crispy and delicious. I think they were even better than the original!
How to Reheat Chicken Nuggets in Your Air Fryer
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: I placed a layer of nuggets in the air fryer basket. I did not stack them. If you can’t get them all in one layer, do it in batches. (It doesn’t take long, so don’t fret!)
Step 2: Place in the air fryer at 360 degrees for 2 minutes.
Step 3: Pull out the basket and shake it.
Step 4: Air fry them for an additional 2 minutes.
DONE!
Yes, seriously 4 minutes to glorious reheated chicken nuggets that aren’t soggy or chewy.

Do you reheat your food in your air fryer? Let me hear how it turns out and what you reheat! What else do you use your air fryer for, other than frozen foods?
Are the leftovers cold? I have a 30 count I want to reheat that have been in the fridge for 24hous.
Yes Todd. I use them from cold. We usually warm ours the next day in the air fryer!
Do you preheat your air fryer first?
Not usually, I’m lazy. haha! Many “recipes” suggest to preheat the air fryer and I might for that, but not for the frozen foods.
