• 0.5 tsp salt (For seasoning the chicken)
• 0.5 tsp black pepper (For seasoning the chicken)
• 60 g all-purpose flour
• 1 egg (Beaten)
• 120 g cornflakes (Crushed)
• cooking spray (For lightly spraying the chicken)
• 3 tbsp honey (For the glaze)
• 1 tbsp butter (For the glaze)
• 1 tsp sweet paprika or paprika (For the glaze)
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder (For the glaze)
• 1 tbsp sriracha (Optional)
• 4 tbsp mayonnaise (For the burger sauce)

• 4 burger buns (For assembling the burgers)
• lettuce (Amount unspecified; for assembling the burgers)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut each chicken breast horizontally into 2 thin fillets, giving you 4 fillets in total. Season the chicken with the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. 2

   Coat each fillet first in the flour, then in the beaten egg, and finally in the crushed cornflakes. Press the coating firmly so it adheres well to the chicken.

3. 3

   Place the breaded fillets in the air fryer basket and spray them lightly with oil.

4. 4

   Cook at 200 °C (400 °F) for 12-15 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until golden, crispy, and fully cooked.

5. 5

   Melt the honey and butter together. Stir in the paprika, garlic powder, and sriracha, if using, and mix.

6. 6

   Generously brush the hot, crispy chicken with the honey glaze.

7. 7

   Mix all the burger sauce ingredients until smooth and well combined.

8. 8

   Toast the burger buns.

9. 9

   Spread the sauce over the toasted buns, add the lettuce, and place the honey-glazed crispy chicken on top. Serve immediately.

Notes
