Steps:

• Make sure air fryer is preheated at 400° F for at least 3 to 5 minutes before chicken goes in basket.
• Season chicken breast pieces with salt and pepper and set aside. Place flour in a small bowl, eggs in a separate bowl and combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder and onion powder in another small bowl.
• Dip chicken pieces in flour, shaking off excess flour. Place floured chicken in eggs and turn to coat. Remove from eggs, letting any excess drip off and then place into breadcrumb bowl. Coat chicken with breadcrumb mixture and then transfer to a plate until all pieces have been breaded. (it's easier to work one piece at a time, so all pieces are evenly coated).
• Spray the chicken pieces with non-stick spray and place in an even layer (or as close to an even layer as you can) in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400° F for 12-15 minutes, shaking basket halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and crisp on the outside. Make sure chicken reaches at least 165° F.

Steps:

• Begin by prepping the chicken. In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, salt and crushed up chips.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice and egg.
• Take each chicken piece and dip into the egg mixture first, then dip into the flour/chip mixture. Place all chicken pieces in one layer in the air fryer (you may have to do in batches if you have a small air fryer).
• Set the air fryer to 380 and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Flip over each chicken piece, and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until nice and crispy.
• While chicken is cooking, make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, honey, and rice vinegar.
• Once chicken is done place on a large plate and drizzle with sauce. You can also use as a dipping sauce.
