Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Season chicken with poultry seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
-
Place beaten egg onto a small rimmed plate. Place cornflakes onto a second rimmed plate.
-
Dip chicken in beaten egg, then press in cornflakes to coat. Place in the air fryer basket and spray the tops with avocado oil.
-
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip chicken, spray again with avocado oil, and air fry for 3 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
