Notes

  • For extra crispiness, double-coat the chicken in panko breadcrumbs.
  • Use an air fryer at 375°F for 12-14 minutes for a healthier option.
  • To store leftovers, keep the chicken and sauce separate to maintain crispiness.
  • Reheat in an oven at 375°F for 10 minutes to keep the crispy texture.
  • Pair with rice, wraps, or fresh coleslaw for a complete meal.
