Made pretty close to the recipe, didn’t have egg substitute, garlic pepper or panko bread crumbs so used an 1 egg white, 1/2 T garlic powder and 1/2 T black pepper and plain bread crumbs. Turned out great. Even my husband who only eats chicken if absolutely necessary loved them. Will definitely be making these again.

Really good. The chicken stayed moist which surprised me because I thought the air fryer would dry it out. Recipe is perfect. I cooked it at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes per batch. I did not overload the basket but my air fryer is only a 2-3 quart. Definitely will make again.

Great recipe, we really enjoyed it!!! Super easy and tons of flavor. Thanks for sharing!!!

Was ok. I like spicy foods (hot sauce is my favorite condiment) but was not a big fan of this recipe’s flavor profile. Was pretty much just hot with no spice complexity. To each their own. If I was to try it again I’d add more Frank’s and less cayenne. Possibly a little brown sugar.

15 minutes at 400° in the air fryer was perfect for me as well! These are phenomenal!!

Sorry to rate this twice… i just re-read the recipe and noticed that I forgot to add the egg. Wanted to let you know that you don’t need an egg… came out perfectly good without it.

I didn’t have Panko crumbs so used bread crumbs instead. That made the breading a little heavier but they were delicious. I dipped them in tzatziki sauce. Yummmm
Tracy Foster
Wow. This recipe turned out really well. Crispy and very flavorful. We used less hot sauce (wife does not like hot) and it was great.

I made this dish using Italian breadcrumbs instead of Panko, one large egg instead of the substitute and I omitted the garlic pepper since I had none.

I used 1 egg instead of the substitute, Crystal hot sauce and regular bread crumbs because the seasoning mixes better than with panko. No other changes. Since the recipe didn’t list a temperature, I used the chicken setting on my AF (370) for 15 minutes. I had 2 racks of chicken pieces and didn’t need to turn them. Awesome! It’s kinda messy to make but well worth it.

I made chicken breast strips. Used one large chicken breast; marinated it in honey barbecue ranch dressing for 4 hrs.; rolled it in Italian bread crumbs; and baked it at 400• for 8 min on each side. Makes 1-2 servings.

I used this recipe to try out the Air fryer in my new Nuwave Oven. I set it on Air fry at 400 F for 15 minutes and it was great.
Barbara Morales
It was very good. Made it as directed. It was crispy and slightly spicy the family loved it.
Janet Phillips
I made this just as directed & it was delicious!! I used 1 large chicken breast & had to cook it a few more minutes but other than that changed nothing. A favorite for sure.
Timothy Smith
This is a very good recipe. I love the yogurt and hot sauce mix. I used one whole egg instead of substitute. I also added extra hot sauce. The amounts are quite precise as there was no leftover batter nor bread crumbs. It doesn’t specify the temperature. I used a Philips airfryer on 190°C. Using thin chicken, the strips only needed eight minutes total. What a delicious meal. Thank you.
