Prep

Step 1. Place Chicken Breast in a shallow dish and pour Dill Pickle Brine over it. Cover and refrigerate while you prepare the coating, about 20 minutes.
Step 2. Meanwhile, rub Panko with Vegetable Oil, Garlic Powder and Black Pepper in a shallow bowl. Put All-Purpose Flour in another bowl and beat Eggs in a third.
Step 3. Drain the chicken, discard the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Coat each cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then press into the seasoned crumbs.

Cook

Step 4. Arrange half the cutlets in one layer in the air fryer basket. Air-fry at 400°F (200°C), flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5. Air-fry the remaining cutlets at 400°F (200°C), flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through, about 12 minutes.
Step 6. Meanwhile, spread Butter over the cut sides of Burger Buns. Toast cut-side down in a large skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Place a chicken cutlet on each bun bottom, add Pickles, and close the sandwiches.

Tips

Good to know

Check the thickest part of each cutlet with an instant-read thermometer; chicken is safe at 165°F.

Swap it

Use gluten-free buns, flour and panko for a gluten-free sandwich.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftover chicken separately from the buns for up to 3 days, then reheat in the air fryer until hot throughout.
