1cupbuttermilk(see FAQ to see how to make it, if needed)
1tspdried thyme
1tspgarlic powder
1/2tsptable salt
1/3cupbread crumbs
1/3cupcornmeal
2eggs
cooking spray of choice
optional lemons and parsley for garnish
Instructions
Set up 4 bowls around your chicken cutlets. Fill one bowl with butter milk. Fill another bowl with flour, salt, garlic powder and thyme. Fill a third bowl with the eggs, and whisk. Fill the last bowl with the corn meal and bread crumbs, and mix together.
Drop one chicken cutlet into the buttermilk, then dredge through the flour mixture until fully coated. Now coat it entirely with the whisked egg, and finish by covering it with the breadcrumbs and cornmeal mixture. Place it on a separate plate. Do this for each chicken cutlet.
Spray each side of the chicken cutlets with cooking spray (you can skip this step if you like, however, I find that it really helps to get a nice golden color). Place them in the bottom of the air fryer, working in batches if needed to prevent over crowding.
Set the air fryer to 400 degrees for 16 minutes. When done cooking, the chicken should register 165 degrees F. Carefully remove from the air fryer with tongs, and repeat with any left over chicken.
