Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken legs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Pat the chicken legs dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, coat the chicken legs with olive oil, ensuring even coverage.
In another bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano.
Dredge each chicken leg in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a thick and even coating.
Place the coated chicken legs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving some space between each piece for even cooking.
Air fry the chicken legs for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Flip the chicken legs halfway through the cooking process for an even crisp.
Once done, remove the chicken legs from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
