Hot honey has become a popular trend, and our Hot Honey Chicken Salad takes it to the next level. Cornflake-coated chicken breasts are air-fried to perfection and then tossed in a homemade hot honey sauce. Serve it over fresh romaine lettuce and veggies, topped with a creamy feta cheese dressing. This salad is a flavor explosion that I can’t get enough of!
The combination of flavors and textures in this salad is truly elite. Crispy chicken coated in sweet and spicy hot honey sauce is simply irresistible. Preparing this salad is easy – just make the dressing and hot honey sauce, coat the chicken, air fry it, toss in hot honey, assemble, and enjoy!
For the salad base, we used fresh romaine lettuce and an assortment of veggies like carrots, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and avocado. The creamy feta cheese dressing adds a tangy element, while the hot honey sauce brings the heat.
To make this recipe, you’ll need a food processor for the cornflake breadcrumb mixture and an air fryer for cooking the chicken. Feel free to customize the salad by swapping chicken breast for thighs, using different veggies, adjusting the heat level, or making it gluten-free.
If you’re meal-prepping, store the components separately and assemble just before serving. The hot honey sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, while the chicken and dressing can be stored for up to 4 days. Reheat the chicken in the air fryer before serving.
