Ingredients
- 1 chicken thigh
- 1 ciabatta bread
Hot Honey Mustard
- to taste garlic powder
- to taste onion powder
- to taste cayenne pepper
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp mustard
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp honey, and 1–2 tbsp mustard; whisk until smooth. Set aside about 1 tbsp of this mixture for a finishing drizzle.
- 2Cube the chicken thigh into bite‑size pieces and thread them onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- 3Place the remaining honey‑mustard mixture in a shallow dish. Toss the chicken cubes in the mixture, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
- 4Preheat the air‑fryer to 375°F (374°F). Arrange the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the basket, making sure they do not overlap.
- 5Air‑fry the chicken for 15–18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F) and the exterior is lightly browned. Flip halfway through for even crisping.
- 6While the chicken cooks, slice the ciabatta loaf horizontally and lightly toast the cut sides in the air‑fryer for 2 minutes, or until golden.
- 7When the chicken is done, remove it from the air‑fryer and drizzle the reserved honey‑mustard mixture over the hot pieces.
- 8Assemble the sandwich: place a generous layer of the hot honey‑mustard chicken on the bottom half of the toasted ciabatta, then cover with the top half.
- 9Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm and the bread is crisp.
