Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0 as needed coconut oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
One at a time, dip each chicken thigh into the eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Step 6
Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Lightly spray the top of the chicken thighs with a little more coconut oil spray to help achieve a crispy crust.
Step 9
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the chicken thighs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm with your favorite low-carb side dishes or a fresh salad.
