Notes
My cans of tinned tomatoes come in a 400g tin. The spicy sauce we made to make our Wendy’s spicy chicken burgers was enough for four rounds of chicken. Reduce the ingredients by 75% if you don’t want leftovers or freeze some for later like we did.
To save time you can also buy this hot pepper sauce instead of making your own sauce. Because you’re using butterflied chicken it takes a lot less time to cook, making it a delicious quick family lunch or dinner. I used my air fryer grill pan for this recipe. This is because it is quite sticky and is easier to cook in compared to the air fryer basket.
