The "Baking Soda" Potato Hack

Boil salted water with the baking soda. Simmer the potato chunks for 10 minutes until soft enough to pierce with a knife. Drain and add them to a bowl with oil and rosemary. The most important step: Shaking the bowl vigorously for 30 seconds to create a "potato slurry" on the surface. These craters are what turn into crispiness in the oven

Start the Air Fry

Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes

Prep the Chicken

While the potatoes cook, smash your chicken breast to an even thickness and cut it into two sandwich-sized pieces. Coat each piece in flour, then egg, then the seasoned, crushed cornflakes

The Last 15 Minutes

Add the chicken to the air fryer with the potatoes for the final 10 to 15 minutes of cooking

Toast & Build

Toast your brioche buns (or standard hamburger buns for lower calories). Spread the bottom bun with sauce and pickles. Layer your crispy chicken, maybe a slice of American cheese, more sauce, and the top bun
