Next, dip each piece of chicken into the milk, then into the cornflake mixture that has been placed in a bowl or on a plate. Coat until the chicken is fully covered in the cornflake mixture.

Repeat this process with all of the chicken pieces.

For oven cooking: Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick spray. Bake for ⏱️ 20 minutes, flipping the nuggets over halfway through.

For air fryer cooking: Spray your air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Place nuggets into the basket and cook at 370 degrees for ⏱️ 12 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Enjoy your cooked spicy chicken nuggets! Dip them in ketchup, copycat Chick Fil A sauce, or even some ⏱️ 2 minute avocado lime crema!
