Spicy Chicken Sandwich-Low-Carb & Gluten-Free
We all know that Chick-fil-A and Wendy's make a mean spicy chicken sandwich. The problem is they are also filled with questionable ingredients, gluten, inflammatory oils, and high in carbohydrates. So we went to work to create a clean, gluten-free alternative that also suited a low-carb diet.
This spicy chicken sandwich is quick & easy to make, yet so juicy and tender to give you a burst of flavor in every bite. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, each piece of chicken is loaded with incredible flavor that will satisfy all your fried chicken cravings without kicking you out of ketosis.
Ingredients
4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness
1 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp Sriracha
1 cup Real Phat Foods Italian Breadcrumbs
1 tsp each paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cayenne powder
4 buns of choice *
Lettuce, tomato, or toppings of your choice
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk & Sriracha, Add chicken and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Whisk together Italian Phat Crumbs, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne powder in a large bowl. Pour onto a plate for easier coating.
Place in an air fryer. Cook at 360 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the meat reaches 165 degrees and is no longer pink.
Generously spread sauce of your choice (we used a mustard/mayo combo) on both sides of the buns and add your preferred toppings and the chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!
