Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Season the chicken pieces on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika heavily.
Mix crushed corn flakes in a shallow dish with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Take another shallow dish and add egg whites to it.
Spray Air fryer tray with oil spray.
Dip the chicken piece in the egg white mixture and then quickly into the corn flakes mixture.
Place on air fryer tray.
Continue doing that until all pieces are coated and on the tray.
Place in air fryer at 380 degrees for 12-15 minutes, flip halfway through. Spray the other side of chicken when flipping so that it continues to brown.
While chicken is cooking, mix together bbq sauce of choice & hot honey.
Slice onions and pickles.
Once chicken is done, toast the hamburger buns.
Butter tops of buns and season with any Italian Seasoning (I use the TJ one)
Top with Chicken, onions, pickles.
Enjoy!

Notes

If you like spicy, use a spicy bbq sauce like a habanero or add more hot sauce to the sauce mixture. You can substitute the chicken thighs for thin sliced chicken breasts. I find thin sliced chicken breasts cook better and tend to get crispier and not dry out.
