  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry. Mix the Cajun seasoning, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and black pepper in a bowl, then turn the chicken through the mixture until evenly coated.

  2. Heat the air fryer to 200°C. Arrange the chicken in a single layer, leaving space around each piece for the hot air to circulate.

  3. Air-fry for 18–22 minutes, turning halfway, until the thickest piece is cooked through and the juices run clear. The centre should reach 75°C on a food thermometer.

  4. Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then serve with the juices from the basket and your chosen sides.
