½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Seasoned Breadcrumbs
½ cup panko breadcrumbs

Preheat air fryer to 390°F.
Prepare the chicken: In a bowl, mix chicken with eggs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until coated.
Prepare the breadcrumbs: In a separate bowl or pan, mix together panko, plain breadcrumbs, cornflake crumbs, cornstarch or flour, parsley, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Coat both sides of the chicken well with the breadcrumb mixture and set aside.
Spray the air-fryer basket with cooking oil. Place chicken inside in a single layer (you will need to work in batches). Spray chicken generously with cooking oil.
