If you haven’t planned meals this week, stop and try this Air Fryer Chick-fil-A Sandwich copycat recipe right away. It’s that good.

You might not expect these copycat Chick-fil-A sandwiches to be made in an air fryer, but they are juicy, flavorful, and have a satisfyingly crisp coating. With a buttery brioche bun and a lighter approach to frying, these taste every bit as craveable as the original—and are a healthier option. Plan for seconds: everyone will want more.
As a lifelong Chick-fil-A fan, I wanted the same comforting flavor without deep frying at home. This recipe was the result: an air-fried version that captures the signature sweet brine, crunchy coating, and tender chicken that make the sandwich so irresistible.
