Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 6 chicken thighs
- avocado oil spray
Chicken Marinade
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- ½ tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp black pepper
Batter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
Instructions
- In a bowl, add the chicken thighs and the marinade ingredients. Mix well and let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375ºF.
- Crack and beat a whole egg in a clean bowl, then add it to the chicken. Mix well. Alternatively(the lazy way), crack the egg directly onto the chicken, wear a glove, and break up the yolk and the white, mixing them well with the chicken.
- Spray the air fryer with oil. Prepare a plate with a cup of flour. Coat each chicken thigh with flour and place them in the air fryer. Spray another layer of oil. Close the lid and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165ºF (approximately 20 minutes for 2 pounds of chicken thighs). Flip the chicken once at the 15-minute mark. Enjoy!
