Air Fryer FrozenChili Cheese Nuggets
Drum roll please,we have cooked frozen chili cheesenuggets for the first time in the air fryer and OMG they were delicious.
Chili chickennuggets are something that I tried for the first time at Burger King a few yearsago. The hubby and I are not good with a lot of spice and was nervous overgetting a nugget with the chili in the name. But as it was just a side, if wedidn’t like chili cheese nuggets, we could just leave them.
We triedthem and OMG we loved them, and Sofia adored them too. She loves anything withcheese, so it was a given.
I remembersaying to Dominic wouldn’t it be nice to make chili cheese nuggets in the airfryer? Plus, it will be a lot less calories compared to deep fried.
BeyondBurger King we have not seen chili cheese nuggets anywhere since, well until Lidldid a Mexican theme recently. I was in there buying everything Mexican that Icould find, and this included a box of chili cheese nuggets.
Excitementcouldn’t stop us, and we had them for lunch the same day we bought them.
I would ofcourse love to make them from scratch and eat them regularly, but sadly Mexicanfood has never taken off much here in Portugal. I have tried many times tosource Jalapenos with no such look.
When Lidldoes one of these special promotions, everything is gone in a day or two, butwith the Mexican food it is still all there 10 days later, with hardly anyonebuying it. That to me says that I will be lucky if we see a Mexican theme orsome frozen chili cheese nuggets again!
Why Air FryerChili Cheese Nuggets?
For me itis mainly about the calories, but mostly because making your own chili cheesenuggets can be rather messy and its sourcing the different ingredients to makethem with.
I have hadthe pleasure of trying both chili cheese nuggets at Burger King as well ascooking them in the air fryer from what I have purchased from Lidl. I have tosay that cooking them in the air fryer is so much nicer.
Getyourself down to Lidl and buy yourself some frozen chili cheese nuggets as youwill not regret it and they taste so GOOD.

Notes
We prefer our chili cheese nuggets served with some salsa. But any of your favourite dipping sauces will do the trick.
Because you’re dealing with melted cheese, you will find that some of the chili cheese nuggets will leak a bit. But when we did ours it was 2 out of the whole box.
Don’t cook your chili cheese nuggets for more than 8 minutes because the cheese will harden and they won’t taste as good.
