Vejledning

1. Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your air fryer to 400°

Butterfly or pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking.

Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Bread the Chicken

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls:

Bowl 1: Flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Bowl 2: Whisked eggs.

Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs mixed with crumbled feta cheese.

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.

Dip into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Press into the panko-feta mixture, ensuring even coverage.

3. Air fry 400°, 5 min per side

4. Make the Hot Honey Sauce

While the chicken bakes, combine honey, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan.

Heat over low heat, stirring until warmed through and well combined. Remove from heat.

5. Assemble and Serve

Drizzle the hot honey sauce generously over the crispy chicken.

Garnish with additional feta, parsley, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
