Step 1
To make the chicken: Put the chicken strips, buttermilk, 6 tablespoons of hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning into a resealable freezer bag. Mix until fully incorporated and the chicken is coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Step 2
Remove the chicken from the marinade and strain over the sink to drain any excess liquid.
-
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining 4 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken strips in the seasoned flour, gently shaking off any excess. Place the strips in the air fryer basket.

When the unit has preheated, insert the air fryer basket on Level 3. Close the oven door to begin cooking.

When there are 5 minutes remaining, place the baguettes on the sheet pan. Place the sheet pan on the wire rack on Level 1 and cook along with the chicken for the remaining 5 minutes.

Carefully remove the bread and chicken from the oven. Let the bread cool for a few minutes. Cut the baguettes into top and bottom halves. Top the bottom halves with the chicken, slaw, and any desired toppings, then cover with the top baguette halves. Cut each sandwich crosswise to serve.
