Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create the coating.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
Step 4
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Dip each chicken piece first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well coated, then transfer to the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Step 6
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the coated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overlap them. You might need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 8
Lightly spray the top of the chicken pieces with olive oil to help them crisp up.
Step 9
Cook in the preheated air fryer for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 10
Once cooked, transfer the chicken pieces to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Serve hot with your favorite low-carb dip or side salad.
