Fried chicken sandwiches have long been a staple in the American South. However, their commercial breakthrough is often credited to Atlanta restaurateur Truett Cathy. In 1946, he began serving a fried chicken fillet on a bun with pickles, making history.

How to do…
The dressing
I don’t use exact measurements. Go by feel and taste as you go. Let it sit, then taste again before serving (the curry flavour develops and intensifies after a while)
The burger
Pound the chicken fillet until thin
season both sides, and coat in flour, egg, and finally the cornflakes
Place the chicken in the air fryer, brush with a little oil and cook at 200°C for 5 minutes, flip the chicken, brush with a little oil, and cook for another 5 minutes
