Make the wet coating
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the oil and whisk until lightly beaten.
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons canola oil
shallow bowl
Double-bread the chicken
Place one chicken piece in the bowl with the dry coating and roll it around until it is lightly but completely coated. Shake off any excess flour. Dip the chicken in the bowl with the wet coating and roll it around until it is completely coated. Allow excess egg to drip back into the bowl. Dip the chicken in the dry coating again, rolling it around until it is completely coated. Shake off any excess flour and place the chicken in the June Air Basket set over the June Pan to catch any crumbs. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.

Spray with cooking spray
Generously spray the chicken all over with nonstick cooking spray, flipping the pieces to coat the undersides as well. The oil will help brown the chicken.

Air fry the chicken
Slide the June Air Basket into the middle shelf position with a foil-lined June Air Basket in the bottom shelf position. Plug the June Food Thermometer into the jack. Air fry the chicken until it is cooked through, about 35 minutes. June will notify you when the chicken is ready.
Serve the chicken
Remove the chicken from the June Oven. Transfer the pieces to plates or a platter and serve immediately.
