5. **Cook**: Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. **Assemble the Sandwich**: Toast the brioche buns in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes. Spread sriracha mayo on the buns if desired, then add the crispy chicken, lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles.
