Instructions

 

Spice Blend:

• Begin by creating your spice blend. Mix cayenne pepper, paprika, chili powder, brown sweetener, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Preparing the Chicken:

• Slice each chicken breast in half so that they fit perfectly on your bun.
• Coat the chicken with half of the spice blend generously. Allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for about an hour.

Coating Mixture:

• In a shallow bowl, combine Greek yogurt, one egg, a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce, and a touch of water. Whisk until well blended.

Breadcrumb Substitute:

• In another shallow bowl, mix almond flour and pork rind crumbs. Season with salt and pepper.

Coating the Chicken:

• Dip each seasoned chicken piece into the spicy yogurt and egg mixture to ensure it’s well coated.
• Dredge the coated chicken through the almond flour and pork rind crumb mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated.

Air Frying:

• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
• Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place each coated chicken breast inside.
• Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray as well.
• Air fry for 8-10 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through.

Finishing Touch:

• In a separate bowl, mix the remaining half of the seasoning blend with 2-3 tablespoons of melted butter.
• Brush this flavorful mixture onto the cooked chicken for an extra burst of deliciousness.

Assembling the Sandwich:

• Serve your crispy chicken on your favorite low-carb burger bun.
