Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

Steps

1. 1

   Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.

2. 2

   Prepare a dredging station with three bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with panko breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing down to ensure they stick.

4. 4

   Place the breaded chicken in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with oil to help with browning.

5. 5

   Air fry at 375°F (190 °C) (190°C (375 °F)) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C) (74°C (165 °F)).

   Start 12-minute timer
6. 6

   While the chicken is cooking, prepare the hot honey sauce by whisking together the honey, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.

7. 7

   Once the chicken is done, remove it from the air fryer and immediately brush or drizzle the hot honey sauce over both sides of the hot chicken.

8. 8

   Assemble the sandwiches by placing the hot honey chicken on toasted brioche buns and topping with pickles and coleslaw if desired.
