How to Make Air-Fryer Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwiches | America's Test Kitchen (S24 E5)

i like this as a follow up to her other video where she made the schnitzel. I've been curious about the air fryers too

With my air fryer it is easier to set the air fryer timer for the longest time and set another timer for the shortest to check the temperature. Otherwise the air fryer wants to reheat before I start the additional time.

I made this last night, 10/10. Even my sister, over to watch the football game, who doesn't like spicy foods thought the spice was right on point. I made it with Frank's Red Hot Sauce. Excellent recipe and it did only take about 30 minutes to make. Oh, and I made it with chicken thighs, still perfect!

This is a great idea! I like how you guys explained the reasoning for every step, that will be very helpful for new cooks

Lan,
Would you have alternative recipe to this spicy chicken sandwich, please? I want to use our air fryer, and this intrigues me. Looking for a different flavor profile, than this spicy one. Maybe I can use less in this one and make it mild. Thank you for posting this video.

I'm not an air fryer fan but that actually looked really good.

Just tried this recipe since it seemed so easy. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and reduced the air fryer temp to 375 to slow the browning and cook the thighs to a higher temp. Good lord it’s a great chicken sandwich…although I’d probably add some cayenne and hot sauce to the batter to make it a bit more spicy

It's simple: I see Lan, I click. 😂this will make good spicy, crispy chicken sandwiches. Thank you!

Yum!

Mmmm. I made this last evening. Wow so good!

Can i substitute the hot sauce for chilli powder, or just leave it out entirely?

I’m surprised Bridget hasn’t been sold on air fryers by 2024.

I made this recipe and it was fantastic! Very delicious!!! I liked pickling the peppers. Thanks for the instructions. First time making chicken in my air fryer and it was a success. Yum!

Guess I'm having lunch at Popeyes now : )

I need to try this.

thats so smart

I made this today. The recipe is easy as can be. The chicken came out juice but still crispy. 10/10

Not a fryer! Invalid!!

Any other ideas to replace the hot sauce?

I made this for supper. Best chicken breasts I've ever cooked. So tender and on the buns with sauce and lettuce, Look out Popeyes.

They are both serial killers masking for sure
🔪 😵‍💫 🥴 🔪

need some background music in this lol

Bridgett doesn't have an air fryer? When was this shot? 2010? She has clearly not had marinated chicken thighs from an air fryer..

Kiss

If you don’t have an air fryer can you use the oven convection setting?

"Do whatever you think is right for me, and I will judge you accordingly after." 👀Lan is infinitely more likeable than Bridget.

Silly question, if I don’t have a microwave, can I brown the crumbs and oil in the air fryer itself? 🤔

Can these be meal prepped with the Panko and then frozen??

Yeah! This worked for me. I just need to cut back on some of the salt. Thank you, Lan.

I just made this - it came out great and the family loved it, thank you!!!!

If you don't have an air flyer, can you still cook them in the regular oven?

Do an air fryer test kitchen challenge

Ok. I microwaved for 1 min 30 seconds and the panko was smoking like mad and some burned. Be careful. I’d turn the power way down and do in 30 second increments. Also, I’ve never used air fryer to toast buns. I did as directed and they got totally died out. Do on a pan.

Love Lan more and more

I resisted buying an air fryer for years, thinking it was just another fad. I saw that it was not going away, instead there were even more recipes being published. I finally bought a small Cosari air fryer. I now use it almost daily! For a single person like me, it works out well, I can have things cooked and eaten almost in the time it takes my big oven to preheat. There is a learning curve, but it is not that steep, so if you have been on the fence, I say get an air fryer!

Ana mandou uma cadeirada virtual nos picaretas com esse vídeo fantástico 😂

The staff in the back room are wearing face diapers??? When was this video shot?

This turned out amazing!!

Lan is fucking phenomenal. Just have her be 100% of the content.

Both you guys are awesome cooks and my mentors. I wish you’d look at the camera, and not at each other. Both of you know why you need to salt a chicken breast. It looks like you’re mansplaining to each other.

We made this tonight and it was amazing! We love all your recipes and techniques. Thanks to you, my family thinks I know what I'm doing in the kitchen.

Bet it's better than Chick-fil-A

Lan is the best. She always looks to bring the best of any tool and technique available for chefs. You learn so much watching her every time!!

Lan can I have your autograph!🙂

My son is allergic to eggs. Is there anything I can use as a substitute?

This was sooo good!! I don't like spicy, so I just substituted Chick fil A sauce for the hot sauce and followed the rest of the recipe as written. My chicken cooked a minute or two faster, but no worries because I checked it early. It was wonderfully browned with a nice crunch yet tender and juicy inside. Finally found a good air fryer recipe - thanks so much!!

I love the idea of mixing the oil with the bread crumbs ❤❤

super
