Ingrédients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1½ teaspoons soy sauce
- 1½ teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 cup panko
- 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- nonstick Cooking Spray
- vegetable oil, for spraying or brushing
Preparation
- Trim chicken of excess fat. Cut chicken into approximately 2-inch pieces.
- Stir the buttermilk, lemon juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt and hot sauce together in a medium bowl. Add chicken and stir to coat.Cover, refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours.
- Combine panko, sesame seeds, and paprika in a medium bowl.
- Place the AirFryer Basket onto the Baking Pan and coat with nonstick spray. Reserve.
- Once refrigerated, strain the chicken from the buttermilk marinade.
- Coat each piece with panko/sesame seed mixture and place evenly on the prepared basket. Spray or brush evenly with the vegetable oil.
- Place into oven in the upper rack position. Set to AirFry 400°F and cook for about 15 minutes until golden and crispy. For even browning, flip chicken halfway through the cooking time.
- Serve immediately with favorite sauce – sweet and sour or honey mustard both work well.
