4- Fry the chicken in the oiled pan for 3-4 mins on each side until they are cooked through.

5- Season the chicken, reduce the heat, drizzle in the chilli sauce and half of the lemon juice, and cook for an additional 1-2 mins until the sauce is reduced.

6- Remove the chicken from the heat.

11- STEP 4 While the chicken is cooking, toast the buns in the dry frying pan for 30 seconds.

12- Transfer them to a plate.

13- If you're using an air fryer, put the buns in the air fryer for 1-2 mins until they are warm.

14- Increase the air fryer temperature to 200C.

15- Add the halloumi to the air fryer basket and cook for 10 mins, turning halfway through, until it's golden.
