Description

A warm and crispy chicken dish made in the air fryer, perfect for fall dinners.


Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
  • Olive oil spray or cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken thighs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Mix the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard.
  3. Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour, dip in the egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Air fry the chicken: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and spray the basket with olive oil.
  5. Cook: Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Rest and serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain the juices.

Notes

Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch and patience while cooking for the best results.
