Instructions
 

Make the Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Thighs

  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Add the chicken thighs to a large mixing bowl with the spices and oil. Be sure to unravel the chicken if needed.
  • Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be sure to get as much of the oil and spices from the bowl as possible
  • Air fry 400 for 20-22 min. No need to flip
  • Mix the sauce ingredients together. Add the chicken to the sauce and allow it to rest for 5 minutes in the sauce.

Toast the Buns

  • Melt about 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet or griddle pan on medium-low heat.
  • Open the brioche buns and toast them open face down on top of the butter for about 1 minute.

Assemble the sandwiches

  • Add the toasted brioche buns to a plate and add about 1 spoonful of blue cheese dressing per bun half (you can feel free to add as much as necessary for photos)
  • Layer the chicken and other toppings
