Crispy, golden coating gives a nice crunch to these juicy and tender chicken thighs. Healthier than deep fried!

1 cupmilk

1 Tbspwhite wine vinegar

¼ cupflour

1 cupPanko crumbs

or bread

2 tbspswheat germ

optional

2 tbspsparmesan cheese

½ tspsmoked paprika

1 tspgarlic powder

½ tspdry onion

Instructions

Step 1

Combine the milk and vinegar then sit the chicken thighs in the milk to marinate for at least 1 hour or best overnight in the fridge. You can also use buttermilk, but I don't usually have it on hand. This method works fine.

Step 2

Mix the flour, Panko, wheat germ, parmesan, and seasonings together in a shallow bowl or bag (I used my saved waxed cereal bag). Remove the chicken from the milk and discard the milk. Press the chicken into the breading to coat all sides.

Step 3

Spray air fryer basket. Sit as many pieces of chicken in that fit without crowding. You may have to work in batches. Very lightly spray the chicken with oil then air fry at 375°F for 20 - 25 minutes. The internal temperature should read 165-170°F
