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, top with chicken, brush with hot sauce, and spoon on half the slaw. Add the top slice of bread. Repeat for second sandwich.
Step 7: Serve
Enjoy immediately while hot! Add extra sauce if desired.
