## Tips

- The egg white and hot sauce mixture adds virtually no calories.
- Use any preferred bun.
- Don't measure the amount of each ingredient added to each station, as it's typically easier to add excess to ensure complete coating. Weigh the amount that stuck to each piece of chicken to calculate the macronutrients.
- Hit the chicken with a light oil spray.
- Flip the chicken halfway through air frying for even cooking.
- Lightly toast the brioche buns.
