Afterward, place the chicken in a Ziploc bag, pour in the marinating mixture from earlier, and pop the bag into the fridge.
“Marinate this for at least one hour but preferably overnight,” Alexandra advised.
The second part of the recipe involves making the chicken’s breading. You should combine starch, diamond crystal salt, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, sugar, and black pepper in another medium-sized bowl.
Whisk the mixture together before finally adding in some flour and stirring until thoroughly combined.
Now, it is time to bread the chicken. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinating mixture and immediately dunk them into the dry mixture first.
Then, coat them in egg before dipping them in the dry mixture again.
Coating the chicken breasts in the dry mixture twice will ensure that your breading comes out thick and crispy.
Finally, once you have finished breading the chicken, you should place them in your air fryer and set it to three hundred and seventy-five degrees.
The chicken will only need to cook for about twenty-five minutes before they are golden brown.
Plus, one perk of making this sandwich at home is that you can add as many toppings as you want at no extra cost.
Alexandra constructed her sandwich using a buttered bun, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle chips, and store-bought Chick-Fil-A sauce– and it looks utterly delicious.
