Preparation
Make the pickled onion
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Lightly oil the basket.
- Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- In a small pot, combine ⅔ of the vinegar, ½ the honey and ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl, combine the onion and boiling water mixture; cover with plastic wrap.
Fry the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry and drizzle with oil; season with the spices and S&P.
- Place in the air fryer and fry, flipping halfway, 13 to 15 min., until browned and cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
Make the honey mayo & slaw
- Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, combine the mayo, remaining vinegar and honey, and S&P.
- Core and cut the apple into matchsticks (or core and small-dice)
- In a medium bowl, combine the cabbage, apple, salad topper, 1 tbsp of the honey mayo (double for 4 portions), a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Toast the buns
- Warm the buns in the toaster.
Plate your dish
- Divide the bun bottoms between your plates.
- Top each bun bottom with the remaining honey mayo, the chicken, a spoonful of the slaw, the pickled onion and a bun top.
- Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
