For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the cornflake mixture. If you don't have avocado oil spray, you can lightly brush the chicken fingers with olive oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for optimal crisping. These chicken fingers are best served immediately for maximum crunchiness. Experiment with different dipping sauces such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or a spicy mayo.
