Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a small saucepan, combine honey, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until well combined and slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Mix the chicken with kosher salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can leave it for 30 minutes to 1 to 2 hours for flavors to develop, although it's not necessary.
-
Put the flour in a shallow bowl.
-
Lightly whisk eggs in a separate bowl.
-
Put crushed cornflakes in another shallow bowl.
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F.
-
Dip each chicken nugget first into the flour, then into the egg, and finally into the cornflakes mix. Make sure to coat each nugget thoroughly by pressing the cornflakes onto them.
-
Place the coated chicken nuggets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Spray oil on the nuggets liberally, covering all surfaces.
-
Cook at 375 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the nuggets are golden and crispy with an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, flipping them over halfway through the cooking time.
-
Serve the air-fried chicken nuggets with the homemade sweet and sour sauce for dipping.
