This Air Fryer Chicken Sandwich (Chick-fil-A Copycat) recipe is the first-class homemade meal the whole family will love! The bird is brined in pickle juice and buttermilk, which produces smooth and juicy fowl with a crispy breading. Add in cayenne pepper and clean greens for the spicy deluxe!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (Mine were 6-8oz each)
  • 1 cup pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (Adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (Adjust to taste)
  • cooking oil, I used peanut oil
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, Optional for the spicy chicken sandwich
  • 1 tablespoon Powdered/Confectioner's Sugar or Sweetener

Sandwich Toppings:

  • 4 slices dill pickle chips
  • 2 buns, I use brioche.
  • 4 slices fresh tomatoes, Optional for deluxe sandwich.
  • 2 slices leaf lettuce, Optional for deluxe sandwich.
Chick-fil-A Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum 
  • 2 teaspoons BBQ Sauce, hickory smoked

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. You can use a sealable bag or a large bowl to brine the chicken. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl or sealable bag along with the pickle juice and buttermilk. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sweetener to a large bowl, large enough to dredge the chicken. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the egg to a bowl large enough to dredge the chicken.
  4. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge both breasts in the beaten egg and then the flour. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket. (The use of the egg is optional and will help keep the breading intact on your sandwich. I often make this without using the egg).
  6. Spritz the top of the chicken with peanut oil. Spray from a distance.
  7. Air fry on 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
  8. Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. Be careful with tongs. You don't want to lose any of the breading on the chicken. Your chicken may be fully cooked at this point and you may only need a couple of minutes to crisp this side of the chicken. Spritz this side of the chicken.
  9. Air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the chicken is crisp. You should also use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees.
  10. Every air fryer model and brand will cook at varying speeds. Monitor your results carefully, and adjust as needed.
  11. For toasted buns, toast the buns for 3-4 minutes on 400 degrees.
  12. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and assemble the sandwich.
  1. Combine the mayo, honey, BBQ sauce, and mustard in a bowl. (I often omit the mayo and still love the flavor. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to fit your taste).
  2. Add the xanthan gum to a separate bowl along with 2 teaspoons of the sauce. Stir to thicken and add it to the bowl with the sauce.
  3. Stir to thicken.
