Metric - US Standard

Instructions

Preheat your airfryer to 200°C/390°F

  • Start by preparing your salad ingredients and slicing the chicken breasts into pieces and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.
  • Place the cornflakes into a ziplock bag over a large chopping board and using a rolling pin (or bottle) crush/roll over the cornflakes until a coarse breadcrumb texture is achieved.
  • Add the flour to a plate (season with salt), whisk the eggs onto a second plate and on the third plate, combine the seasoning (onion powder, garlic powder and paprika) with the crushed cornflakes.
  • Now start the conveyor belt by coating the chicken in the flour, egg and the cornflake mix and lay the breaded chicken pieces on a tray.
  • Once every strip is breaded, spray them with oil and place them into your air fryer. Depending on how big your air fryer is, you might need to fry in batches. For maximum crispiness, don’t overlap the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes 200°C/390°F then flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is fully cooked and crispy, season generously with flaky salt. Meanwhile, prepare your wrap using 1 large tortilla, a layer of lettuce, tomato and red onion and 2 cheese slices, then top with a few goujons.

Notes

  • Use separate hands for wet and dry ingredients when breading chicken.
  • Pat cornflakes onto chicken with the dry hand to avoid mess
  • Season goujons with salt right after air frying and cook the sliced chicken breast pieces in batches of similarly sized pieces to prevent over or under-cooking.
  • Depending on the size of your goujon, increase or decrease the cook time.
