Air Fryer Cajun Chicken Thighs

• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 2 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 ½ tsp Ground garlic
• 1 ½ tsp Ground onion
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp Fine sea salt
• ½ tsp Black pepper
• 1 ½ tbsp Olive oil
• 8 pieces Chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on

1. Pat the chicken thighs dry, then set them aside while you make the seasoning. In a bowl, mix together the cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, ground garlic, ground onion, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, fine sea salt and black pepper.
2. Add the olive oil to the spice mix and stir to a loose paste. Add the chicken thighs and toss until evenly coated, getting the seasoning into all the nooks.
3. Heat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for 3 minutes. Arrange the thighs in a single layer, skin-side up.
4. Air-fry for 12 minutes, then turn the thighs and cook for 8 minutes more. Turn skin-side up again and cook 3 to 6 minutes until the skin is deeply browned and the thickest part is cooked through and the juices run clear.
5. Rest the chicken thighs for 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle. Serve hot.
