Step 1

Add the sour cream and milk to a bowl and whisk well to combine.

Step 2

Add the chicken to the sour cream mixture and turn to coat. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to 24 hours.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the fridge about 30 minutes before breading and cooking.

Step 4

Add the panko and crushed fried onions to a shallow dish along with the garlic powder and pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Dip each piece of chicken in the panko mixture, pressing firmly to fully coat the chicken in the breading.

Step 6

Spritz your air fryer basket with oil spray and arrange the chicken in a single layer in the basket, leaving a bit of space between each piece for air to flow. You may need to work in batches.

Step 7

Spritz the chicken liberally with oil spray and air fry at 390 degrees for 5 minutes. Flip the chicken over and spray again with oil spray. Continue cooking for 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with remaining chicken, if needed. Rewarm chicken in air fryer for 1-2 minutes, if needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle with a bit of salt and chives before serving.
