Copycat Fried Chicken Sandwich

Total Time

Prep: 15 min. + marinating Cook: 20 min./batch

Makes

6 servings

Ingredients

• 3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon each onion powder and paprika
• 2 teaspoons pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 6 brioche hamburger buns, split
• Optional: Shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickle slices, onion slices, mayonnaise

Directions

1. Cut each chicken breast horizontally in half; place in a large bowl. Add buttermilk and hot sauce; toss to coat. Refrigerate, covered, 8 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat air fryer to 400°. Stir eggs into chicken mixture. In a shallow dish, whisk flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper and salt. Remove chicken from buttermilk mixture. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, firmly patting to help coating adhere. Repeat, dipping chicken again in buttermilk mixture and then dredging in flour mixture.
3. Place chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Using a pastry brush, lightly dab both sides of chicken with oil until no dry breading remains.
4. In batches, arrange chicken in a single layer in greased air fryer. Cook until a thermometer reads 165° and coating is golden brown and crispy, 7-8 minutes on each side. Remove chicken; keep warm. Toast buns in air fryer until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Top bun bottoms with chicken. If desired, serve with optional toppings.
