Instructions

  1. Turn on the Air Fryer and allow it to heat to 400°F before adding the chicken.

  2. While Air Fryer preheats, toss the chicken thighs in a bowl with salt and Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

  3. Dredge each thigh in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.

  4. Place chicken thighs in the Air Fryer Basket, ensuring they don’t overlap.

  5. Cook for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 178°F. Remove and repeat with any remaining chicken thighs.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with hot honey or maple syrup for some southern comfort!
