Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken drumsticks, bone-in
- 1 cup crushed pork rinds
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder, or dry mustard
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Start by preheating the air fryer to 350 degrees F; brush the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Let heat up for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs, and use a fork to whisk. In another large bowl, or shallow bowl, make the pork rind mixture: Add the pork rinds, almond flour, and seasonings, and mix well.
- Dry the chicken legs off with a paper towel, dip the chicken legs into the eggs, then into the almond mixture, and use your hands to have the pork rind mixture adhere to the chicken legs. Place the coated chicken legs into the air fryer in a single layer.
- Set the temperature to 350 degrees F, and the cooking time for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway during the cooking process. For best results, spray the chicken leg batter with avocado oil or cooking spray, which will help you get the same flavor as deep frying. Remove when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F using a meat thermometer
