The Nisekoi watch order covers two seasons — 20 and 12 episodes — plus four OVAs from Shaft, in the correct sequence. Begin with Season 1, episodes 1-20, which sets up Raku Ichijo's fake romance with Chitoge Kirisaki and the locket mystery at the heart of the story. After the first season, watch the three bridging OVAs — Loss / Shrine Maiden, Work / Change and Bath House / Service — before moving into Season 2, Nisekoi:, across episodes 1-12. Close out the order with the final OVA, Honeymoon / Magical Pâtissière Kosaki!, which plays best after the second season. Grouping the OVAs on either side of Season 2 keeps the running gags and character beats in chronological order rather than saving them all for the end. If you only want the main story, the two episode blocks carry it, but this is the full order including all OVAs. Season 1, episode 1 is where to start.
