4. In another deep dish, Beat the egg with the water until a smooth mixture forms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This liquid will act as a "glue" for breading the chicken, helping the flour and cornflakes to stick.
5. In a separate bowl, Add the unsweetened cornflakes and break them up lightly, just enough to form slightly smaller pieces. This texture will help create a crispy and flavorful crust.
6. Preheat the Airfryer to 180°C. to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and reaches the perfect level of crispiness.
