Sandwich

  • If you are using an air fryer (see notes below if you do not have an air fryer) preheat it at 400 degrees for several minutes. Cook the patty for about 10 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through the cooking process.
  • Slice the buns in half and add a layer of the homemade coleslaw on the bun.
  • Next, toss the cooked patty in the sauce and add to the bun.
  • Add the pickles, a drizzle of agave nectar, and more coleslaw before placing the top of the bun on the sandwich.

Notes

Always ensure that hot food has cooled enough before handling or eating it.
If you do not have an air fryer, you can cook the chick'n patty or fillet using the package instructions for the stovetop or oven. 
This sandwich is best when it is eaten right away, do not store for later.
