Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper or cling film and gently bash them with a rolling pin until they’re an even thickness, about 1.5–2cm thick. This helps them cook evenly and stay juicy in the air fryer.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with the paprika, garlic granules, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Dip each piece of chicken into the seasoned flour, turning to coat. Shake off any excess, then dip into the beaten egg. Let the excess drip off before pressing the chicken into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure it’s fully coated. Press down gently to help the crumbs stick.

Step 4

Lightly spray both sides of the chicken with olive oil. This helps it crisp up beautifully in the air fryer.

Step 5

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) if your model needs it. Place the chicken pieces in the basket in a single layer. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken over and spray again lightly with oil. Cook for another 5–6 minutes, or until golden, crispy and cooked through. The chicken should be piping hot and reach 75°C (165°F) in the centre.

Step 7

While the chicken cooks, toast the burger buns if you like, and prep your toppings. Lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, or whatever you fancy.

Step 8

Assemble the burgers by layering up your crispy chicken in the bun with all your favourite extras.
