Let’s start with the star of the show: the crispy chicken.

Set up a breading station with shallow bowls of flour, egg and cornflakes. Make it extra tasty by adding buffalo sauce to the egg! Dip each tender in the flour first, then egg mixture, and finally coat generously with crushed cornflakes. I used Crunchy Nut for the extra honey flavour! So yummy.

Now if you don’t have an air fryer that’s totally fine you can just bake these. Either way, spray with a little bit of oil and bake/air fry for 15 minutes. I needed to do mine in 2 batches so I didn’t crowd the air fryer.

While the chicken is cooking we make all the other condiments.

The whipped feta is super easy. Simply blend feta with a splash of milk, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. So simple and adds a delicious creaminess!

Chop tomato, cucumber, red onion and mint to create a cooling, refreshing salsa to go on top of the pitas.

Finally, whisk some buffalo sauce with honey and lemon juice to make a spicy sauce to drizzle over the crispy chicken. And that’s it! So many yummy flavours and textures… way better than any restaurant.
