Ingredients
Garlic Butter
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter softened

- Pinch salt
Buffalo Chicken
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 9 oz boneless chicken cut into small cubes

For Assembly

Notes
- This recipe is designed for a standard loaf (about 250-300g). If using a larger loaf (400-500g), increase all ingredients proportionally for the best topping-to-bread ratio.
- Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C). Place the buttered bread cut side up and air fry for 2 minutes. Top with mozzarella and buffalo chicken, then return to the air fryer for 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Work in batches if your air fryer basket is small.
