I find chicken thighs to be more flavorful than chicken breasts, and this schnitzel is a perfect example. Not only is it delicious, it is also cooked in the air fryer, making it lower in calories, oil free, and grease free.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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.
