Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat 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.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
Step 5
Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten eggs, making sure they are fully coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken thighs in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating of the breading.
Step 7
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 9
Lightly spray the top of the chicken thighs with olive oil spray to aid in crisping.
Step 10
Air fry for 12-13 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the chicken and fry for another 10-12 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy chicken!
