- 2 Chicken breasts (Pounded to even thickness)
- 125 Ml Milk
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Honey or maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha (Adjust to taste)
- 1 Tsp Garlic paste
- 1 Tsp Ginger paste
- Salt and pepper (To taste)
- 2 Cups Kellogg’s Frosties (Crushed but not powdered)
- 1 Egg (Beaten)
- 2 Tbsp Milk
- 5 Tbsp Honey
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha (Adjust to taste)
- 1 Tsp Garlic paste
- 1 Tsp Ginger paste
- 1 Tsp Sesame oil
- 2 Brioche buns (Toasted)
- Sriracha mayo
- Lettuce or slaw (Your choice)
- Pickled jalapeños (Optional, for heat)
- Step 1: Marinate the Chicken
- Combine milk and 1 tbsp lemon juice for a quick buttermilk substitute; let it sit for 3 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic paste, ginger paste, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Step 2: Coat the Chicken with Frosties
- Crush Frosties into small bits and set aside in a shallow dish.
- Whisk the egg with milk in another dish.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and let excess drip off.
- Dip chicken into the egg mixture, then press firmly into Frosties to coat evenly.
- Step 3: Cook the Chicken
- Air Fryer: Preheat to 180°C. Spray the basket lightly with oil, place chicken inside, and cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
- Step 4: Make the Sweet & Spicy Glaze
- Heat honey, soy sauce, sriracha, garlic paste, ginger paste, and sesame oil in a saucepan.
- Stir until the glaze thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich
- Brush the cooked chicken generously with the warm sweet & spicy glaze for a glossy finish.
- Spread sriracha mayo on both sides of the toasted brioche buns.
- Add lettuce or slaw to the bottom bun, then place the glazed chicken on top.
- Sprinkle a handful of crushed Frosties over the glazed chicken for an extra crunch and a hint of sweetness.
- Finish with pickled jalapeños (if you’re feeling spicy) and crown it with the top bun.
Customise the Heat: Adjust the sriracha in the marinade, glaze, or mayo to your preferred spice level.
Alternative Glaze: Try adding a pinch of chili flakes for an extra kick.
Leftovers Tip: Slice leftover chicken for salads or wraps – the glaze keeps it moist and flavourful.
