Ingredients
- 6-8 chicken thighs ((1½-2lbs))
- 4 tsp all purpose seasoning ((8g))
- 1 tsp black pepper ((2g))
- 1 tsp pink salt ((6g))
- 3 cups almond milk ((710ml))
- 1½ cups sorghum flour ((180g))
- 1½ cups millet flour ((180g))
- ¾ cup tapioca starch ((90g))
- 1½ tsp baking powder ((6g))
- 4 tbsp all purpose seasoning ((30))
- 1½ tbsp paprika ((10.5g))
- 1½ tbsp onion granules ((10.5g))
- 1½ tbsp garlic granules ((12g))
- ½ tsp chilli powder ((1g))
- 2 tbsp parsley ((8g)fresh or dried)
- 2 tsp pink salt ((2g))
Method
- Place the almond milk in a large bowl along with the all purpose seasoning, black pepper and pink salt.
- Carefully lower the chicken into the milk.
- Wrap the bowl with saran wrap/cling film and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
- In another separate bowl, add the sorghum flour, millet flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, all purpose seasoning, paprika, onion, garlic granules, chilli powder, parsley and pink salt.
- Mix the flour(s) together so all of the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Do a quick taste test to determine if you need to adjust for more seasoning.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the milk (do this one at a time) allow them to drain in a separate bowl or plate.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture (shaking off any excess).
- Dip the chicken in the milk (allow to drain over the bowl) and then dip it one more time into the flour blend.
- Repeat the above steps with the remaining chicken.
- Once all of the chicken thighs have been coated, allow to rest on a plate for 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer them to the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches).
- Air fry 200C/400F for 20-25 minutes turning over half way through.
- Check the chicken about 5-8 minutes before it has finished air frying and spritz any dry spots with oil.
- Once cooked transfer on a plate with baking paper (leave for about a minute) before transferring to a cooling rack.
