Makes

2 dozen

Ingredients

• 12 small boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 pounds)
• 4 cups finely chopped pecans
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1/4 cup 2% milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2-3 dashes hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
• Cooking spray
• BOURBON BERRY JAM:
• 1 package (16 ounces) frozen unsweetened mixed berries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup bourbon
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• SLAW:
• 1 package (16 ounces) tri-color coleslaw mix
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 packages (12 ounces each) Hawaiian sweet rolls, split

Directions

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°. Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness; cut each thigh in half. Place pecans in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, whisk together egg, milk, salt, pepper and pepper sauce. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with pecans. In batches, arrange chicken in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, turning once, 8-10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine jam ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until thick, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; crush berries to desired consistency. For slaw, in a large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, sugar and lime juice. To assemble, spoon 1 heaping tablespoon jam onto bottom of each roll. Layer with hot chicken and slaw; replace tops.
