Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 as needed coconut oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea 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 ensure they are completely dry.

Step 5

Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 6

Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly on both sides.

Step 7

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Arrange the coated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Spray the tops lightly with coconut oil.

Step 9

Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the pieces and spray lightly again with coconut oil.

Step 10

Continue air frying for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 11

Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve immediately for the best crispy texture, and enjoy your Paleo Crispy Airfried Chicken!
