Move over Chik Fil A, Popeye’s, and Wendy’s! There is a new sheriff in town. I absolutely love a good spicy chicken sandwich. This sandwich has better ingredients and is more substantial than any fast food option that you would get. These sandwiches pair perfectly with family or the big game. Let’s dive into how to make the best Air Fryer Spicy Chicken Sandwich!
What You Will Need
- An Airfyer. Preferably one that has shelves versus a bucket if you are going to make the full recipe. This way you won’t have to cook in waves. I personally have the Pampered Chef Deluxe Air Fryer. You can host an online party with my friend Sarah if you want to get it for 50-60% off!
- Aluminum Foil. This helps with the mess. My husband hates sticky dishes so I try to do my part in making them less messy.
- Frank’s Seasoning. This is a staple to this recipe. Frank’s is the best hot sauce and their seasonings are amazing!
Keep in mind that you will be able to make this sandwich as spicy as you’d like by altering the amount of seasoning. I was able to add spicy into all the layers of the sandwich. All these flavors coming together is why this is the best air fryer spicy chicken sandwich!
