Zinger burgers

Serves 2 | Prep 10 mins | Cook 15 mins

You’ll want to add the ingredients for these unbelievably crispy Zinger Burgers to your next shopping list! Piled high on wholemeal buns, with lettuce leaves and your choice of sauce (we’d go for light mayo or homemade salsa), they’re far lighter than you’d expect at less than 400 calories each. Forget about breadcrumbs – we’ve smashed together fiery tortilla chips, flour and a simple blend of store-cupboard spices instead. You can trust your air fryer to keep the chicken breasts nice and juicy, while the zingy coating bakes until it looks and tastes like it’s been deep-fried at a restaurant.

In a sealable food bag, combine the tortilla chips and spices. Use a rolling pin to break them down into a crumb. Tip out onto a plate.
Put the chicken breast into another sealable food bag. Use the rolling pin to flatten out the thick end so that the whole breast is an even thickness (around 2 cm). Make sure the chicken breast is dry and cut it into 2 equal halves.
Place the flour on one plate and the beaten egg on a separate plate. Dust the chicken lightly with the flour and then dip it into the egg. Dip the chicken breast pieces into the crumb to coat the tops, using any remaining crumbs to coat the bottoms.
Spray the inside of the air fryer basket with low-calorie cooking spray. Place the coated chicken pieces inside and spray the tops with some more low-calorie cooking spray. Air-fry at 180°C for , flipping the chicken halfway through.
Check the chicken is cooked and white throughout before assembling the burgers with the lettuce and buns.
