Steps

1. 1

   Prepare three shallow bowls for dredging: one with flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with crushed corn flakes.

2. 2

   Dredge the chicken thigh by coating it first in flour, then dipping it in the egg, and finally pressing it into the corn flakes until fully coated.

3. 3

   Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket and spray the surface with oil.

4. 4

   Cook at 385°F (196°C) for 16 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time.

5. 5

   Continue cooking until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. 6

   In a pan over medium heat, combine 1 tbsp sesame oil, 4 tbsp zero-calorie brown sugar replacement, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp minced ginger, and 1/2 cup water.

7. 7

   Mix the sauce ingredients well and let the mixture simmer and reduce until it has thickened to a syrupy consistency.

8. 8

   In a bowl or container, combine the sliced cucumber, sliced daikon, 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 to 3 tbsp honey, and salt to taste.

9. 9

   Add sliced fresh jalapeño if desired for spice, then shake or mix well to coat the vegetables.

    Assemble the sandwich by coating the air-fried chicken in the lemon teriyaki sauce and serving it with the cucumber salad.
