Crispy Cod Nuggets in The Philips Airfryer. Simple, tender chunks of codfish in a crispy cracker crumb crust. Cooks in only 15 minutes!

Crispy Cod Nuggets
When I was asked to give the Philips Airfryer a test run, one of the first things I thought about trying, was cod nuggets. Since school is truly back into a settled routine this week, it’s the time of year when meal planning and keeping the kids happy at the dinner table become priorities once again.
Our kids have always loved homemade fresh cod nuggets and we would often simply bread them in cracker crumbs or cornflake crumbs and fry them in vegetable oil in a cast iron pan, just like fried chicken.
They were always devoured with a little lemon honey tartar sauce on the side. I decided to give one of our kid’s faves a shot in the Philips Airfryer as a first test.
I liked the idea of the Philips airfryer using Rapid Air Technology to cook food from every direction because this would ensure that the crust on the cod nuggets would stay intact. Only a tablespoon of oil was used for 8 large nuggets which were probably twice the size of a standard chicken nugget.
For that low amount of fat, this certainly was a tasty, quick, healthy meal. The digital model that I have comes with the Double Layer Rack which I would recommend because I got 8 large cod nuggets in the airfryer with no crowding. I could have easily have fitted in few more, making it easy to feed up to 4 people.

Optional accessories.
The airfryer also has optional accessories for cooking skewered meat and vegetables as well as a fry grill pan and variety basket. There’s even a small baking pan available which I think would be ideal for after school snack cakes, without the need for turning on the oven. It’s always good when your small appliances are energy saving as well.
After only 15 minutes in the Philips Airfryer, the cod nuggets came out perfectly cooked with a moist, flakey interior and a perfectly crispy crumb coating. They disappeared in record time.
A couple of days later I tried the same recipe idea with slightly smaller pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breast using the added flavour suggestions in the recipe notes below and they were juicy and delicious too.

All in all I found the Philips Airfryer to be easy to use, very quick cooking and it produced excellent results with remarkable little added fat. I look forward to trying more recipes in the Airfryer including those that come in the included full colour recipe booklet, which also includes tips for using the unit.
