TIPS AND TRICKS

• Make sure oil is at the right temperature before you start to cook. If it’s not the nuggets will fall apart.
• Don’t crowd the pan. Make sure to fry the nuggets in batches.
• Slotted spoon. If you use a slotted spoon, this allows you to remove the corn nuggets from the oil without removing extra oil.
• Eat right away! These are best when served immediately!
• You can freeze these for up to 3 months. Store them in a Ziploc bag or an airtight container.
• You can reheat the nuggets in a oven, air fryer. Please don’t reheat them in the microwave or they will become soggy.
