Cut the chicken into 1.5 inch pieces and place in a large bowl. Add pickle brine to the bowl.
Let the chicken soak in pickle brine for 30-45 minutes.
While soaking, combine the cassava flour, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl and mix together.
When the chicken is done soaking, dunk each piece of chicken in the coconut milk, then submerge in the cassava flour mixture. Toss the chicken in the flour mixture to ensure it is fully coated.
Spray your air fryer with cooking oil spray. Add the coated chicken pieces to the air fryer, in a single layer. Cook in multiple batches, if necessary. Cook for 7 minutes at 400 degrees F.
When 7 minutes is up, flip each chicken nugget. Add more cooking oil spray. Cook for another 7 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
