Directions

1. Preheat air fryer or oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Set up an assembly line: combine flour in a medium-sized bowl with the spices and mix to combine. Whisk eggs in a separate bowl and add breadcrumbs to their own medium-sized bowl.
3. Dip a piece of chicken in the flour mixture until it is coated on all sides, then dip the chicken in the egg bowl, again coating on all sides. Finally, dip the piece of chicken in the breadcrumbs and press down until it is fully coated. Transfer to a plate, then repeat the process with the remaining pieces of chicken.
4. Add chicken to air fryer basket and spray lightly with cooking oil. Cook for 15 minutes, flip the chicken and cook for another 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Cooking time will depend on your individual air fryer.
5. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and put in a large bowl. Pour buffalo sauce on top and toss with tongs to coat the chicken.
6. Heat or toast the buns to your liking. Assemble the sandwiches by adding lettuce, tomato and chicken to the buns.
7. Serve with your favorite fries and a salad and enjoy!
