Turn on the NuWave Brio air fryer and set it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for preheating.

Set the cooking time to 30 minutes.

In a bowl, mix together the buttermilk and eggs to create the egg wash.

In another bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, hickory smoked sea salt, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper to create the dry breading mixture.

Once the air fryer is preheated, coat the chicken breasts in the buttermilk egg wash.

Bread the chicken breasts in the dry mixture, then spray them with cooking spray.

Place the breaded chicken breasts in the air fryer on the two middle rack holders.

Cook the chicken for 15 minutes without flipping them.

After 15 minutes, swap the racks to ensure even cooking.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken using an instant-read thermometer; it should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

If the chicken is not fully cooked, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and allow it to rest briefly before serving.
