Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup mayonnaise until smooth.
  3. Step 3: In another shallow bowl, combine 3/4 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp baking powder.
  4. Step 4: Dip each of the 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs into the egg-mayo mixture, then dredge thoroughly in the almond flour-parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Step 5: Place the coated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to maintain crispiness.
