Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and optional smoked paprika.
Place the cornstarch, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the cornstarch, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook for 16-20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is air frying, mix together the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, sweet chili sauce, and soy sauce in a bowl.
Once the chicken is done, drizzle the Bang Bang Sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
