You'll want to add the ingredients for these unbelievably crispy Zinger Burgers to your next shopping list! Piled high on wholemeal buns, with lettuce leaves and your choice of sauce (we'd go for light mayo or homemade salsa), they're far lighter than you'd expect at less than 400 calories each. Forget about breadcrumbs – we've smashed together fiery tortilla chips, flour and a simple blend of store-cupboard spices instead. You can trust your air fryer to keep the chicken breasts nice and juicy, while the zingy coating bakes until it looks and tastes like it's been deep-fried at a restaurant.
