Ingredients

  • 8 pieces Chicken legs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large bowl, coat the chicken legs with olive oil, ensuring even coverage.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken leg in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a thick and even coating.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken legs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 7

Air fry the chicken legs for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Flip the chicken legs halfway through the cooking process for an even crisp.

Step 8

Once done, remove the chicken legs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
