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.
