Ever since our journey to Nashville within the Summer season, I have been obsessive about sizzling rooster.
Chris and I ate a lot at one sitting at Hattie B’s that we may barely transfer for the remainder of the day!
Though they did not have sizzling honey sauce on the the menu there, I have been making sizzling honey sauce at home for ages! It is such an excellent drizzle sauce for rooster and salmon that it is tough NOT to serve it up with each meal!
So that is my model – crispy rooster, baked within the oven so we do not have to get oil splashed all over the place, and straightforward sizzling honey sauce.
The rooster is coated in crushed cornflakes, which, if you have not tried earlier than, works brilliantly, to get that related crunch you’d get if you happen to fried the rooster.

The crushed up cornflakes gives the right crunch you’d get with fried rooster, the right golden color (which is tough to get if you happen to’re utilizing panko) and further depth of flavour.

Cooking the rooster within the Air fryer
First guarantee your air fryer is giant sufficient for 8 rooster steaks. The rooster can overlap a bit, however you do not wish to stack them in an enormous pile. My air fryer is pretty small, so I’ve to do that in 2 batches to prepare dinner the 8 rooster steaks. So it really takes much less time general to prepare dinner within the oven.
