Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the coating adheres well.
Step 5
Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated.
Step 6
Transfer the chicken thigh to the almond flour mixture and press firmly so the coating sticks. Shake off any excess.
Step 7
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Place the coated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Lightly spray the top of the chicken with olive oil to help achieve a crispy texture.
Step 10
Air fry the chicken at 380°F (193°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve the crispy air fryer chicken hot, with your choice of low-carb sides or a salad.
