Air Fryer Chicken Thigh Schnitzel Recipes

AIR FRYER CHICKEN SCHNITZELS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pound out each piece of chicken breast, so they are an even thickness.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Crack the egg into a separate bowl and beat slightly.
• Lastly, add the breadcrumbs into yet another bowl.
• One by one, coat the chicken in the following order. First, in the seasoning mixture. Next, coat in the egg. Lastly, coat in the breadcrumbs. Repeat until you have coated all the chicken.
• Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F). It should take roughly 5 minutes.
• Cook the chicken in batches so there is only a single layer. Lightly spray the schnitzels with cooking oil. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• Check the chicken is cooked by using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should be at least 75°C (170°F).
• Serve & Enjoy.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGH SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs, 1 at a time, between 2 sheets of parchment paper and flatten with a mallet.
• Combine bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl and beaten egg in a third shallow bowl. Dip chicken thighs first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally coat with bread crumb mixture.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place breaded thighs in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; work in batches if necessary. Mist with avocado oil and cook for 6 minutes. Flip each thigh, mist with oil, and cook an additional 3 to 4 minutes.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and brush the skin-side of each piece with olive oil. Place chicken thighs, skin-side down, in a single layer on a plate.
• Combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl and sprinkle half the seasoning mixture evenly over the 4 chicken thighs. Turn thighs over and evenly sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture on top. Place chicken thighs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, skin-side up.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer until chicken is brown and juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

AIR FRYER CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combine the paprika in a bowl with the herbs and garlic granules, if using, together with ½ tsp salt and ½ tsp ground black pepper. Scatter onto a plate. Rub the chicken thighs with the oil, then coat in the spice mix.
• Put in the basket of your air fryer and cook, skin-side down, for 10 mins at 180C. Turn over and cook for a further 10-15 mins until cooked through and the skin is crispy. To check they are cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a knife to see if the juices run clear. Remove from the air fryer immediately to stop the skin from softening.
