directions
Step 1: Prepare the Slaw
In a small bowl, mix cabbage, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, sugar substitute, and seasonings. Stir well and set aside.
Step 2: Flatten the Chicken
Place chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin or heavy object to pound until evenly thin.
Step 3: Bread the Chicken
Set up three shallow dishes:
Dish 1: seasoned flour
Dish 2: milk and buffalo sauce
Dish 3: seasoned panko breadcrumbs
Dip each piece of chicken in flour, then milk mixture, then breadcrumbs, fully coating and shaking off excess each step.
Step 4: Air Fry the Chicken
Preheat air fryer to 375°F. Spray basket with cooking spray, place chicken inside, and spritz the tops. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
Step 5: Make the Hot Sauce
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine butter, buffalo sauce, brown sugar, and hot honey. Cook until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
Step 6: Assemble the Sandwich
Spread mayonnaise on both sides of toasted bread. Add 3 pickle slices to the bottom slice, dip the chicken into the hot sauce until fully coated, and top with half of the slaw. Add the other slice of bread. Repeat for second sandwich.
Step 7: Serve
Enjoy immediately while hot!
