Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 5
Dip each chicken thigh first into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture. Press the flour mixture firmly onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well, fully coating each piece.
Step 6
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Arrange the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch or overlap.
Step 8
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken pieces with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.
Step 9
Cook the chicken in the preheated air fryer for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the outside is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy and delicious keto-friendly chicken!
