- Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Place the chicken in an Airfryer. Drizzle or spray with olive oil (optional).

- After 10 minutes, turn the chicken fingers over and cook for another 3-5 minutes until crisp and golden. If you don't have an Airfryer, these chicken fingers can be baked at 220ºC until crisp and golden or fried in vegetable oil.

- Use a food processor to quickly and easily crush the cornflakes into fine crumbs.
- If you want a thicker coating, double-dip the chicken in the egg wash and cornflake mixture.
- For a more flavorful coating, add some dried herbs or spices to the cornflake mixture.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some space between the chicken fingers so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken fingers until they are crispy and golden brown. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce.
