A quick, flavour-packed meal featuring tender BBQ shredded chicken, crispy air-fried potatoes, and creamy coleslaw—all made efficiently in a dual air fryer!

⏰ Total Time: ~40 mins (15 mins prep time, 25 mins cook time)

💰 Total cost (2 servings) ≈ £4.50

🍽️ Cost per serving ≈ £2.25

This is an approximate calculation, but it should give you a good idea of the cost of making these 2 servings. The cost per meal comes down significantly when buying ingredients in larger quantities, especially for pantry staples like olive oil, spices, and seasonings.
