Yes, the hubby whipped us up this Copycat Chick-fil-A Sandwich and it is PERFECT! I love Chick–fil-A but really can not afford to take the whole family for chicken sandwiches very frequently. The hubby was on a mission to come up with a perfect copycat recipe for the original Chicka-fil-A and I think he found it. Quite a few unique steps to make it taste like the real thing.

    Tried it out and it was a big hit- juicy chicken and flavorful- I made my own brioche buns to use next time, can’t wait to try out- thank you for sharing!

    1. Hi Debbie! The homemade brioche buns sound like an amazing addition to our chicken sandwich like Chick-Fil-A. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe. And, thanks so much for the suggestion for the bun, the rating and review. They really help other readers. Have a great day and Thanks again-Jen

    1. Hi Karen! This Chicken Sandwich recipe would not work in the Air Fryer. The batter for it would most likely be a mess. It will need to be fried in a pan. But, in the next few weeks I will try to see if there is a way to replicate it for the air fryer. I hope that helps.
