- 2 large Eggs
- 2 Tbsp Pickle Juice
- 1 Tbsp Mustard, use your favorite mustard
- 1/2 tsp Paprika

Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
- In a shallow bowl whisk together the eggs, pickle juice, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Place the crumbs in a separate shallow bowl.
- Place the flour in a third shallow bowl.
- Dip one chicken cutlet in the flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and finally coat it in the crumbs, pressing down with your fingers.
- Place the breaded chicken on a plate and continue to do the same process with the rest of the cutlets.
- Coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 2 chicken cutlets in the air fryer basket and spray the chicken with cooking oil.
- Cook at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Flip and lightly spray chicken with cooking spray and continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. To check if chicken is done, use an instant-read thermometer. The chicken is done when internal temperature registers at 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and transfer it to a plate. Keep covered and while the other chicken cooks.
