Instructions

Place the chicken in a gallon size ziptop bags. Pound them until they are 1/2 inch thick.
Cut each chicken breast into 2 pieces.
Place the chicken back in the bag. Add pickle juice and water and allow to marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Whisk the egg and milk together.
In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients: flour, corn starch, powdered sugar and spices.
Coat the chicken in the egg mixture, then the flour mixture, making sure the entire piece of chicken is fully coated.
Spray your air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.
Place your chicken in the air fryer basket. Arrange chicken so that it's not touching. You might have to work in batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer. Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
Cook for 6 minutes at 340 degrees. Flip and cook for another 6 minutes at 400 degrees. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Place each chicken portion on a Brioche bun and top with 3 dill pickle slice.
Serve with Chick Fil A sauce if desired.
