Air Fryer Boneless Chicken Thighs
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 2 pieces
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 14 minutes
Marinade Time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lemon, halved
• 1 tablespoon McCormick Gourmet Cajun seasoning (divided)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs (like herbs de Provence)
• 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 36 ounces)

Equipment:

• Air Fryer

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

In a blender or jar, mix together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, juice from half the lemon, and 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. Marinate the Chicken:

Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or dish, then pour the marinade over them. Use your hands to toss the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours for more flavor.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer:

Before cooking, lightly oil the air fryer basket to help prevent sticking.

4. Prepare for Cooking:

Once the chicken is marinated, take it out of the fridge. Remove excess marinade by scraping it off gently with your fingers. Then, season the chicken with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning, paprika, and dried herbs.

5. Air Fry the Chicken:

Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for about 14 minutes, flipping the thighs halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

6. Serve:

Slice the remaining lemon half into wedges and serve alongside the chicken for an added burst of flavor.

Enjoy your delicious and juicy air fryer chicken thighs!
