Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, large
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure maximum crispiness.
Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten eggs, making sure they are fully coated.
Next, dredge the egg-coated chicken thighs in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating of the breading.
Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.
Place the coated chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
Lightly spray the top of the chicken thighs with olive oil spray to aid in crisping.
Air fry for 12-13 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the chicken and fry for another 10-12 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly crispy chicken!
