If you like buffalo wings or buffalo tenders, you will go mad for this buffalo chicken burger. It’s hot and spicy with a cool greek yoghurt sauce to soften the spice. It’s the ultimate fakeaway meal, when you are craving a takeaway, but don’t want the grease. This chicken can be airfryed or made in the oven (though I am yet to try and cook it in the oven).

  3. Preheat your airfryer to 180. Whisk your flour with the remaining cayenne, salt, pepper & aromat.

  4. Coat your buttermilk chicken into the dry mix and spray with frylight and add to the airfryer. Cook for 15 mins each side. Spray with frylight every time you flip the burger. Burger should take approximately 30mins.

  5. While chicken is cooking melt together all your ingredients for the buffalo sauce and set aside.

  6. Combine all your ingredients for the yoghurt dressing too, and set aside.

  7. Toast your brioche buns.

  8. When chicken is cook, rest it on a plate and using a basting brush coat the chicken in the buffalo sauce until it’s covered in sauce.

  9. Add a leaf of lettuce to one side of your brioche bun, followed by your chicken on top. Spread a generous tablespoon of the yoghurt sauce on the other bun and lay it on top.
