1. Season the chicken with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

2. In three separate bowls, prepare the coating setup: Bowl 1: Dry batter (flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder); Bowl 2: Egg wash (egg + water whisked together); Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs.

3. Coat each chicken piece in the dry batter, then dip in egg wash, and finally coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.

4. Cook the chicken in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crisp.

5. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, black pepper, and olive oil until smooth.

6. In a large bowl, toss chopped lettuce with a few spoonfuls of Caesar dressing. Add some grated Parmesan cheese and mix gently.

7. Slice the mini bread loaves in half. Spread butter on each side and toast on a pan or grill until golden and crisp.

8. Spread a little Caesar dressing on the toasted bread. Place a crispy chicken piece on the bottom half. Add a generous amount of Caesar salad on top of the chicken. Sprinkle more Parmesan cheese. Cover with the top half of the bread loaf.
