Organic and McDonalds don’t really go hand in hand, but that’s probably on me, I can’t fault Golden Platter for that. These are marketed as gluten free and organic so I was a little shocked to see a nugget that reminded me of McDonalds. The main negative was the look of the chicken nuggets. Overall, this was an interesting product for me. I tried ketchup, bbq sauce, buffalo, and teriyaki sauce with these nuggets, and all 3 were amazing. They are very good eaten on their own, but I would recommend using a sauce or a dip to really complement the flavors of the chicken. The chicken tasted very good and is definitely one of the better frozen chicken nuggets products out there based on the taste and quality of the organic chicken. The seasoning is on the lower end, but that allows the taste and juiciness of the chicken to really shine through. I was pleasantly surprised with each bite. It was the longest cook time of these methods, but also produced the best overall crispy breading.įor the actual meat, and taste of the nugget itself, I would say this is a very very tasty chicken nugget. With no specific heating instructions, I did have to improvise a little and I did cook the nuggets longer in the air fryer than I originally expected. It provided a very nice crispy golden brown all over the nugget including the sides which is hard to do in a pan. Going off these 5 different cooking methods, I preferred the air fried chicken the best. I would put these just a touch above the oven-baked version. The inside chicken retained a lot of the juices withstanding the longer cook time. The gluten-free breading on the air fryer version came out very crispy and the nugget was very uniform in color. I don’t know the exact cook time I used for these, but it was 12-15 minutes in total. I continued to check every few minutes until they were that nice golden brown that I was looking for. Unfortunately, after the 8 minutes, these were still a very light color, so I shook them up a little and put them back in. The original plan was 400° for 8 minutes, which is similar to what other frozen chicken nuggets require. In this case, the recommended oven temperature is 425° which is perfect because my air fryer only goes up to 400°. With no specific instructions, I generally reduce cooking temperature by 25° and reduce cooking time by a few minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it into a serving dish.Only two heating options were listed on the bag, but from my experience, most frozen products that can be heated in the oven do just as well if not better in the air fryer. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and stir/toss until all the chicken is covered. Cook until the butter is melted and the sauce is hot, stirring to combine everything. While the chicken is cooking, combine butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon pepper seasoning, onion powder, ground cayenne, and lemon zest in a saucepan over medium heat. I heat my chicken nuggets in the air fryer at 350 degrees until they're crisp, about 10 minutes, but you can cook them according to package directions or whatever is easiest for you. Pantry ingredients/spices: butter, garlic, onion powder, and ground cayenne.Feel free to use your favorite chicken nuggets (or make your own!). I like them because they're lightly breaded and not too heavy.
