Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb chicken breast boneless, skinless
Marinade
  • 1/2 cup pickle juice
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
Coating
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
Breading
  • 1/4 cup Panko
  • 1/4 cup regular bread crumb
  • 1/2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 Tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
Cole slaw
  • 14 oz bag slaw
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion
Dressing:
  • 2/3 cup light Mayo
  • 1/2 Tsp celery seed
  • 1 Tsp powdered sugar
  • Juice 1 lemon
  • 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tsp salt
Spicy Aioli
  • 4 tbsp light mayo
  • 3 tbsp hot sauce
Other
  • 8 buns of choice
  • 1/4 cup pickle chips

Instructions
 

  • Cut chicken into 8 patty sized pieces. Combine pickle juice and hot sauce and marinate chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Beat egg with milk and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl.
  • In another mixing bowl, combine breading ingredients. Coat each piece of chicken in egg mixture then in breading mixture.
  • Spray well with cooking spray and place chicken pieces on an air fryer tray or in a lined basket so no pieces are touching.
  • Air fry at 375F for 12-15 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken pieces. Once chicken has reached an internal temp of 165F, it's ready.
  • While chicken is air frying, combine cole slaw dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Combine chopped green onion and slaw. Pour dressing over slaw and green onion mix and mix to coat. Let slaw chill in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
  • Once chicken is done, toast your buns of choice (I use Schmidt 647 low carb buns). Mix up spicy aioli (or your sauce of choice - ranch or blue cheese dressing work great here), put 1/2 tbsp on each bottom bun, then layer on chicken patty, some pickles, and slaw. Add top bun and enjoy!
