2. Whisk milk and egg together and set aside.
3. Combine the dry ingredients and stir; set aside.
4. Preheat air fryer to 370°F.
5. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator, drain and place each into the dry mixture, to the liquid mixture, and back to the dry making sure it is well coated, making sure to shake off excess.
6. Cook in a single layer of chicken for 8 minutes or until golden brown, flipping, and spritzing with olive oil at the halfway mark.
7. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!!

Note: to make your nuggets extra crispy spray them really well (both sides) with olive oil both before and in the middle of cooking. You can easily make these copycat chick fil a nuggets stove top too, just follow everything as above but then deep fry in vegetable or peanut oil.
