Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- coconut oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure they're moist-free for a crispy texture.
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly until smooth.
Dip each chicken thigh first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, coating all sides evenly.
Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them for even cooking.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with coconut oil spray. This will help achieve a golden, crispy finish.
Cook in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping on both sides.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to make sure it reaches at least 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
Once done, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, keto-friendly chicken!
