Air Fried Chicken
- 3 oz chicken thigh
- 1 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup crushed corn flakes
- 1 spray oil spray
Bourbon Sauce
- 2 tbsp light butter
- 1/2 cup light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar blend
- 1 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- a pinch crushed red pepper
- 1 clove garlic
Cucumber Salad
- 1 cucumber
- 1 cup cabbage
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Light Sour Cream Spread
- 2 tbsp light sour cream spread
Bread Ciabatta
- 1 ciabatta bread
Instructions
- 1Preheat the air fryer to 385°F (383°F).
- 2Pat the chicken thigh dry, then dredge it in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat thoroughly with crushed corn flakes.
- 3Lightly spray the coated chicken with oil spray and arrange it in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket.
- 4Air‑fry for 16 minutes, flipping the pieces halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F) and the coating is golden and crisp.
- 5While the chicken cooks, melt 2 tbsp light butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- 6Add ½ cup light soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar blend, 1 cup hoisin sauce, and ½ cup bourbon; stir and simmer for 4‑5 minutes until the alcohol evaporates and the sauce thickens slightly.
- 7Stir in a pinch of crushed red pepper and the minced garlic; if the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of warm water and whisk until smooth.
- 8In a separate bowl, combine the whole cucumber (sliced thin if desired) with 1 cup shredded cabbage.
- 9Dress the slaw with 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper; toss until evenly coated.
- 10Slice the ciabatta bread horizontally if not pre‑sliced, then spread 2 tbsp light sour cream on the bottom half.
- 11Place the cooked chicken on the sour‑cream‑spread side of the bread, top with a generous heap of cucumber‑cabbage slaw, and drizzle a spoonful of the bourbon sauce over the chicken.
- 12Close the sandwich with the top half of the ciabatta, press lightly, and serve immediately while the chicken is still hot and crispy.
