Soak the onions in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes to help spread the sections. Transfer onions to a paper towel and remove excess water.
Whisk together egg and milk in another small bowl.
Add flour, salt, ground mustard, and chili to a small bowl.
Combine breadcrumbs and corn meal in a shallow dish.
Preheat air fryer at 375º for 3 minutes.

Add ½ of onions to fryer basket. Cook for 7 minutes. Transfer to plate and repeat with remaining onions. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Serve warm with dipping sauce.
