Whisk the milk, egg, and 1 tablespoon hot sauce together in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, mix the flour, tapioca starch, seasoned salt, garlic granules, and cumin. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat them in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Place them in the air fryer basket in batches without overcrowding, and lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
