To make the chicken: Soak chicken in pickle juice (for at least 15-30 minutes for best flavor). Coat the chicken with a whisked egg, then bread thoroughly with crushed pork rinds. Air fry the breaded chicken at 400F (200C) for 10-14 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F (74C) and the crust is golden and crispy. For the buns: Place 2 slices of pepper jack cheese on parchment paper and broil until they get crispy, forming a cheese 'bun'. Assemble the chicken sandwich using the crispy pepper jack cheese slices as buns and add any desired toppings.
