4. Slice the chicken into about 1 inch pieces. Dip each piece into the egg mixture, then the flour mixture until fully coated. Fully dust off any excess flour.
5. Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper (optional) and place the chicken pieces in the air fryer- or utilize your dehydrating racks like we did! Air fry at 400°F for 4 minutes. Once finished, switch the positioning of your racks and air fry at 400°F for another 4 minutes. We recommend spraying with Olive Oil spray to ensure a crispy result.
