Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 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
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure they are completely dry.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken to the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly on both sides.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil to prevent sticking.
Arrange the coated chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Spray the tops lightly with coconut oil.
Air fry the chicken for 10 minutes, then carefully flip the pieces and spray lightly again with coconut oil.
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).
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately for the best crispy texture, and enjoy your Paleo Crispy Airfried Chicken!
