During various lockdowns, homemade recipes for fast food soared in popularity.
Now a chef on Instagram has shared how to make another cult classic – but with a ‘healthier’ twist.
US chef Calvin Kang has revealed how to make your own version of the McDonald’s Chicken Sandwich at home.
Calvin’s technique involves using spices and seasoning to cover the chicken in a cornflake coating – to get that delicious crunch.
His recipe also uses an air fryer – to make the burger healthier than the fast food chain’s offering.
The chef also has a spicy version of the burger on his Instagram page and one follower even suggests adding cheese as a final flourish, too.
If you’re interested in giving it a go yourself at home, you can find Calvin’s full recipe below.
