How To Make Air Fryer Chicken And Gravy Biscuit Sandwich
Step One: Start by making the biscuits, place the refrigerated biscuits into the air fryer, and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, air fryer setting and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. For best results, flip the biscuits halfway during the cooking process. And brush them with butter!
Step Two: Follow the Instant Pot Gravy recipe, and if you do not have an Instant Pot, you can also make that recipe in a small skillet.
Step Three: Then follow the recipe for making the Southern Fried Chicken. If you want cheese, at the last minute, add a piece of Cheddar or American Cheese, and return it to the air fryer until fully melted.
Step Four: Cut your Buttermilk Biscuit, Add your chicken on top, spoon some gravy on top, and then add a couple of pieces of bacon, top it off with a couple of dill pickles (if wanted) and the top of the buttermilk biscuit.
Air Fryer Chicken And Gravy Biscuit Sandwich Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Biscuits: For the fluffiest biscuits, use fresh refrigerated biscuit dough. If you prefer homemade biscuits, make sure to follow a recipe for light, airy results.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Preheating your air fryer for a few minutes ensures an even cooking temperature, leading to crispy biscuits and tender chicken.
- Flip the Biscuits: Halfway through cooking, flip the biscuits to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- Season the Chicken Well: Season the chicken generously with your favorite spices, and for extra crunch, coat the chicken in a seasoned flour mixture before frying.
- Gravy Consistency: If your gravy is too thick, add a bit of milk or chicken broth to reach your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, whisk constantly while heating.
- Customize with Cheese: Add a slice of cheese on top of the fried chicken just before finishing it in the air fryer for a melty, gooey addition to your sandwich.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh, so assemble your sandwiches right before you’re ready to eat.
Storing
- Storing: To store leftovers, separate the biscuits, chicken, and gravy. Place the biscuits and chicken in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 2-3 days. Store the gravy in a separate container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, freeze the cooked chicken and biscuits separately in airtight containers or freezer bags for up to 3 months. The gravy can also be frozen in a separate container for up to 3 months. Allow everything to cool completely before freezing to preserve texture and flavor.
- Reheating: To reheat, place the chicken and biscuits in the air fryer at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Reheat the gravy on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally, until hot. For the best results, reheat the sandwich components separately to maintain the texture of the biscuits and chicken.
What To Serve With Air Fryer Chicken And Gravy Biscuit Sandwich
For a well-rounded meal, serve your Air Fryer Chicken and Gravy Biscuit Sandwich with a side of crispy French fries or seasoned potato wedges to add some crunch. A refreshing green salad with a tangy vinaigrette complements the rich and savory flavors of the sandwich, balancing the heaviness of the biscuit and gravy. You could also include some sautéed vegetables like green beans or roasted carrots for a wholesome touch, or enjoy it with a bowl of creamy mashed potatoes for an extra comfort-food boost.
