Three ingredients in less than 30 minutes: The entire recipe may be prepared in less than 30 minutes with just three components.
Ingredients:
- One pound of bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- one tablespoon of Cajun spice
- Two tablespoons of olive or avocado oil
- Lemon Juice and coriander for garnishing
Guidelines
- Using a paper towel, pat the chicken dry.
- Place the chicken in a big dish or ziploc bag along with the oil and cajun seasoning. Next, evenly distribute the oil and seasoning over the chicken.
- Place the chicken, skin side down, in the air fryer’s cooking basket.
- Air Bake the chicken thighs for 11 to 12 minutes on each side at 400 degrees.
Best Cooking Tips:
- Give the meat room in the cooking pot so that air may circulate and contribute to a crispy, even, and juicy finish.
- Season the chicken with Cajun spice to taste; seasoning may easily be added after cooking. So go ahead and set aside some of the suggested Cajun seasoning for the end.
- The recipe for boneless cajun chicken thighs is the same as that for bone-in cajun chicken thighs, so adjust the cook time accordingly. Since boneless chicken cooks more quickly, you must alter the cook time. You should allow the meat to cook for a further 8 to 10 minutes after flipping it.
