Ingredients

2 large skinless boneless chicken thighs

2 tbsp plain flour

1 free-range egg

2 tbsp gochujang paste

75g stale white bread

olive oil

2 burger buns

320g crunchy veg, such as red cabbage, carrots, onions, radishes

1 fresh green chilli

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

red wine vinegar

extra virgin olive oil

2 tbsp Greek yoghurt

Method

One at a time, bash and flatten the chicken thighs between two sheets of greaseproof paper to 1cm thick, then dust all over with the flour.
Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of gochujang in a shallow bowl, then season with sea salt and black pepper. In a food processor, blitz the bread with 1 tablespoon of olive oil into fine crumbs, then spread across a plate.
Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes to 200°C. Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumbs, spending a bit of time really patting them on.
Evenly space the chicken in the air-fryer drawer and cook for 16 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway and adding the buns cut side up for the last 2 minutes.
Prep your veg, then finely shred or grate them to make a quick slaw – I use a speed-peeler to create a super-fine, crunchy texture. Finely slice and add the chilli, along with the sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, mix well, and season to perfection.
Mix the remaining gochujang into the yoghurt and divide between the buns.
Halve the chicken pieces and pile up with the slaw, put the bun lids on, squash together, and enjoy! serve any extra slaw on the side.

All recipes from Easy Air Fryer were tested at least twice in a Tefal single (4.2 litres) or dual (8.3 litres) air fryer, as well as in a range of air fryers by my team of office testers at home. All air fryers are different, so results may vary – please follow the recipe instructions for guidance, and use your instincts to adjust times accordingly if your machine runs a little hotter or colder than average.
