Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To keep the chicken extra juicy, lightly spray the cornflake coating with avocado or olive oil spray just before air frying.

Tip 2 of 2

If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer the buffalo and honey mixture for 2 minutes before tossing; the sugars in the honey will caramelize slightly.
