Air Fryer McChicken

This High-Protein McChicken is a lighter, macro-friendly spin on the classic fast food sandwich. It’s crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle, and packed with 38g of protein per sandwich. Made with lean ground chicken and a crispy cornflake coating, it’s simple, quick, and way more satisfying than the drive-thru version.
