Enjoy these crispy air-fried chicken thighs that are perfectly seasoned and cooked to golden perfection without the excess oil.
Ingredients
4 pieces chicken thighs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup flour
1 large egg
as needed spray avocado oil
Method
Begin by laying each chicken thigh between two pieces of parchment paper and gently flatten them using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper for seasoning. Prepare two additional shallow dishes: one filled with flour and the other with a whisked egg. Start by coating the chicken thighs with flour, then dip them into the egg wash, and finally cover them in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure proper cooking.
Arrange the breaded chicken thighs in the air fryer basket without overlapping. If necessary, cook them in separate batches. Lightly mist the thighs with avocado oil and air fry for 6 minutes. Flip each thigh, spray with a little more oil, and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until they are beautifully golden and crispy.
