These chicken thighs are air fried using a bit of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). The health benefits of EVOO are incredible! It’s known to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, it is rich in polyphenols, which are antioxidants that target inflammation, and it also contains vitamin E as well as vitamin K which plays an important role in heart and bone health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parmesan Crusted Chicken<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicken: <\/strong>chicken thighs that are boneless and skinless work best for this recipe. If you prefer white meat, you can substitute the thighs for chicken breasts (butterfly cut) to ensure even cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breadcrumbs:<\/strong> unseasoned panko bread crumbs are best for this recipe. If you opt for seasoned breadcrumbs such as Italian, do not add garlic and onion powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> grated parmesan is the cheese of choice. You can also try other types of cheese that are similar to parmesan such as quattracento, asiago, pecorino-romano, or grana padano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil: <\/strong>is used in the air fryer to help create a nice crispy crust on the chicken thighs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic powder and onion powder: <\/strong>I use these to season the breadcrumbs because they provide a nice subtle taste to the chicken and compliment the garlic mayo coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayonnaise: <\/strong>helps to create a coating for the chicken thighs to be dredged in the breadcrumbs and also makes the thighs moist. I recommend using olive oil mayo for a healthier option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlic: <\/strong>use fresh garlic for making the mayo. It has a much stronger (yet pleasant) garlic taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
