Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Cutlets
  • 4 pieces chicken cutlets (about 1 pound total)
  • to taste Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • to spray Olive oil cooking spray
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 dash soy sauce, or more to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pat the chicken cutlets dry and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Place the flour in a resealable bag. In a shallow bowl, beat together the eggs and milk. On a plate, mix the Everything Bagel seasoning and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Add the cutlets to the flour bag, seal it, and toss to coat the chicken evenly. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press it into the panko mixture on both sides.
  4. Place the coated cutlets on parchment paper and spray each cutlet generously with olive oil spray.
Cooking
  1. Arrange the cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer. Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, turning them halfway, until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Preparing the Glaze
  1. While the cutlets are cooking, combine the rice vinegar, water, brown sugar, Sriracha, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce in a saucepan.
  2. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
Serving
  1. Drizzle the glaze over the cooked cutlets and serve warm, garnished with parsley if you like.

Notes

Make sure to coat the chicken cutlets evenly for the best crunch. Do not overcrowd the air fryer; cook in batches if necessary. Feel free to adjust the level of Sriracha in the glaze to suit your taste.
