Prepare 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breast.

Add 1 egg to the chicken.

Pour in some milk and a little bit of vinegar to help tenderize the chicken.

Add kosher salt to the chicken mixture and let it rest.

In a separate bowl, prepare the cornflake breading by mixing cornflakes with salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika.

Dip the chicken into the cornflake mixture to coat it.

Place the coated chicken into the air fryer basket.

Spray the chicken with avocado oil for extra crispiness.

Cook in the air fryer at 400°F, typically in batches, to avoid overcrowding.
