Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 can Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a crispier finish.
Dip each drumstick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully covered.
Then, coat the egg-dipped chicken with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
Lightly spray the interior basket of the air fryer with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Place the coated drumsticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Spray the top of the drumsticks with a light coating of olive oil spray to help crisp the coating.
Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
