Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken legs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Pat the chicken legs dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps the coating stick better and ensures a crispy finish.
Step 3
In a large bowl, coat the chicken legs with olive oil, making sure each piece is evenly coated.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, mix together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken leg in the flour mixture, ensuring it's completely covered. Gently shake off any excess coating.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken legs in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Be sure not to overcrowd; you may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Step 7
Air fry the chicken legs at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispness.
Step 8
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Remove the chicken legs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve with your favorite Paleo-friendly sides like steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
