Chick-fil-a who? These air fried chicken nuggets are next level, and even crispier than the typical chicken nugget. In replace of breadcrumbs, this recipe uses coconut shreds, almond flour, and grounded up gluten free pretzels. I also threw in just the right seasonings to make the perfect nugget. You can pair these with your favorite dipping sauces or throw them over some fresh greens. Making chicken nuggets doesn't get much easier than this. Plus, these are gluten free and dairy free. You don't want to miss these!
