Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 can Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a crispier finish.
Step 5
Dip each drumstick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered.
Step 6
Then, coat the egg-dipped chicken with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Step 7
Lightly spray the interior basket of the air fryer with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the coated drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 9
Spray the top of the drumsticks with a light coating of olive oil spray to help crisp the coating.
Step 10
Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 11
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
