    In a large bowl, whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and Sriracha until the sauce is smooth and combined. Set aside 3/4 cup of the sauce.

    Put flour in a large resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, seal the bag, and shake to coat. Move the coated chicken pieces to the sauce in the large bowl and stir to coat.

    Place panko bread crumbs in another large resealable plastic bag. Working in batches, drop the chicken pieces into the bread crumbs, seal, and shake to coat.

  4. 4

    Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Arrange as many chicken pieces in the air fryer basket as will fit without overcrowding.

    Air-fry in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for 5 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
