  • 2 cups boneless, skinless chicken thighs about 1 lb
  • 1 cup teff flour
  • 1 cucchiaino garlic powder
  • 1 cucchiaino onion powder
  • 1 cucchiaino paprika
  • 1 cucchiaino salt
  • 0.5 cucchiaino black pepper
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine teff flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  4. Dip each chicken thigh into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the teff flour mixture.
  5. Lightly brush both sides of the coated chicken with olive oil.
  6. Place the chicken thighs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching.
  7. Air fry for 10 minutes, then flip the chicken and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
