Keto Air-Fryer Fried Chicken

Those air-fried chicken thighs come out golden and crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside, and needs only a light coat of of olive oil to become crisp. Spicing up the almond Parmesan mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper gave the coating a wonderful array of flavours, aromas, and colours.
Chicken thighs get a crispy, crunchy coating with a well-spiced blanched almond powder with Parmesan in this simple and easy chicken recipe. Everything comes together deliciously in the air fryer for a family-friendly meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. Serve with a seasonal salad or use them to make chicken sandwiches.

Breading
  • 3 Boneless chicken quarters, halved
  • 3 Medium eggs
  • Olive oil
  • Salad, to serve
  • Ranch, to serve
  • 100 g Ground blanched almonds
  • 50 g Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika powder
  • 1/2-2/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly milled black pepper
  1. Half each chicken thigh, trimming off excess fat if desired. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs in a bowl until combined. Stir together all breading ingredients in another bowl until well-mixed. Prepare a large tray lined with parchment paper for the breaded chicken thighs. Working with one chicken piece at a time, coat chicken first in breading bowl, then in egg wash bowl, then again in breading bowl. Place breaded chicken pieces on prepared tray.
  3. Preheat your air fryer at 200C/400F. I usually switch it on about 3 minutes prior to cooking. Coat preheated fry basket with olive oil or cooking spray. Transfer the chicken to the air fryer basket, making sure chicken pieces are not touching. Coat chicken breasts with olive oil. Depending on the size of air-fryer basket, you can make 2-3 pieces at once. I have a small air fryer so I could only fit in 2 pieces at once.
  4. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Open the air-fryer and flip chicken thighs over, and coat with olive oi. Air Fry for 6-8 more minutes. Remove chicken breasts to a plate, and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken breasts.

  21. Makes me want to go out and buy an air fryer, just so that I can make this recipe. The coating sounds delicious with all those flavours and I guess if I adjusted the cooking time, I could use chicken breasts instead of thighs!

    Looks amazing, I can smell it from here :)

  23. Wow, these air fryer chicken thighs look amazing! I have an old T-Fal, one of the first that came onto the market (they gave it to me) and it’s not as good as the newer technology. I’m tempted to get a newer one, but I hardly ever fry things and I have such little space. However your recipe has made me want to rethink it.

  24. Angie, We keep talking about buying an air fryer but haven't followed through. Don't have much storage space left in our kitchen... Love your spicy seasoning combination...and my wife prefers thighs to all other parts of the chicken! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

  25. Ooo this looks terrific. Loving the idea to use air-fryer making the exterior perfectly crisp, browned, and not soggy like with oil. The chicken looks so flakey and juicy, too.

    We bought air fryers for both my mom and my father-in-law for Christmas last year - SO excited to send them this recipe!

  37. This keto air fried chicken came at the perfect time, Angie! My mother gave me her air-fryer and I am learning how to use (very slowly) and I've been experimenting with the keto lifestyle that my sister lives by. Fried chicken is one of our favorites, but so unhealthy for us . . . like I said, this recipe came at the perfect time!!!!

  38. These look so perfectly done! I have been getting such mixed reviews from people vis-a-vis the air fryer that I am still in two minds whether not to buy one.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Envious of those who have an air-fryer. Maybe I should invest in one too :p
