Calvin Kang
Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings 6 sandwiches

Ingredients
  

  • 600 g boneless skinless chicken breast finely chopped
  •     cayenne hot sauce or buffalo sauce as needed to dip and coat six patties; discard any sauce that touches raw chicken
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt plus more to taste after cooking
  • 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon celery powder
  • 50-60 g crushed cornflakes as needed for coating
  • Neutral oil spray for a light coating of the basket and patties
  • 6 Culture Keto buns or similar sandwich buns
  • Shredded romaine lettuce for topping
  • 42 g light mayonnaise 7 g per sandwich

Instructions
 

  • Finely chop or pulse the 600 g chicken breast. Mix with the mustard, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper and celery powder. Divide into six equal 100 g patties.
  • Crush 50 g cornflakes and keep up to 10 g more ready if needed. Press the crumbs onto both sides of each patty.
  • Pour enough hot sauce into a shallow dish to dip and coat each cornflake-covered patty. Work gently so the coating stays in place. Discard any sauce that touches raw chicken.
  • Lightly spray the air-fryer basket and both sides of the patties. Arrange in a single layer and cook in batches at 390°F (200°C). Start checking after 10 minutes; continue until each patty reaches 165°F (74°C) at the center.
  • Taste one cooked patty and add more salt only if needed. Toast the six buns if desired.
  • Place one patty on each bun with shredded romaine and 7 g light mayonnaise. Close the sandwiches and serve.
