Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and lightly season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Dip each chicken thigh first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Step 6
Then, press the chicken into the almond flour mixture, coating each piece thoroughly on all sides.
Step 7
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Arrange the coated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 9
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil spray to help promote even browning.
Step 10
Air fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
