Ingredients
Air Fryer Fried Chicken Breasts
- 2 chicken breasts halved crosswise and cut in half (see tips above)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk see tips above
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Oil spray
- 8 Martin’s Sandwich Potato Rolls
- 2 Tbsp butter
Chicken Sauce
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp yellow mustard
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 Tbsp BBQ sauce
Slaw
- 3 cups shredded cabbage
- 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup chicken sauce
Instructions
- Place the halved chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the buttermilk into the bag. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes minimum up to several hours.
- In a shallow bowl combine the panko breadcrumbs, flour, baking powder, and spices.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk with a fork, shake off excess buttermilk, and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture to coat on all sides. Spray with oil spray from both sides.
- Put the chicken breasts in one layer in the Airfryer basket and air fry at 375F (190C) for 10-12 minutes in total until internal temperature reads 175F (79C) and the chicken breasts are golden brown and crispy. Flip the chicken with a fork or cookie spatula after 5 minutes and spray with more oil if needed.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the chicken sauce by combining all the ingredients in a bowl. Then make the slaw by combining shredded cabbage, vinegar, sugar and salt in another bowl. Let the slaw sit for 2 minutes then add 1/4 cup of the sauce you made before and stir until combined.
- Then brush the cut sides of the Sandwich Rolls with butter and heat a large skillet over medium heat. Toast rolls buttered side down until browned and crisp, about 1 minute.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread some sauce on the bottom roll, place a fried chicken breast on top, and top with slaw.
