Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C).
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper together until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut milk until smooth.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. This ensures a crispy finish.
Step 5
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg and coconut milk mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Step 6
Coat the dipped chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks well.
Step 7
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Arrange the coated chicken thighs in a single layer in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd it.
Step 9
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with olive oil spray for better crispiness.
Step 10
Cook in the air fryer for 22-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Remove from the air fryer and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy your Paleo crispy chicken with your favorite Paleo-friendly sauce or side!
