The secret to making the juiciest boneless chicken thighs in the air fryer is marinating them with yogurt. They come out delicious!

Equipment

• Air Fryer

Ingredients

1/2cupnonfat Greek yogurt

2garlic cloves, minced

1lemon, halved

1tablespoonMcCormick Gourmet Cajun seasoning, divided

1/2teaspoonpaprika

1/2teaspoondried herbs, such as herbs de Provence

8boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed of fat (36 ounces total)

Instructions

In a blender or jar (if using an immersion blender), combine the yogurt, garlic,juice from half the lemon, and 1/2 tablespoon of the cajun seasoning and blend until smooth. Reserve the other lemon half for serving.

• Put the chicken in a large dish that will fit it in an even layer. Pour the yogurt marinade over the chicken and toss to coat, making sure each piece is completely coated.

• Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, and up to 6.

• When you’re ready to air fry, lightly oil the air fryer basket.

Remove the chicken from the dish and remove all but a thin layer of the marinade. Season with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of the cajun seasoning, paprika and dried herbs.

• Air fry the thighs 400°F in a single layer, in batches as needed for 14 minutes, flipping half way or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and both sides are browned.

• Once cooked, cut the remaining lemon half into wedges, and serve alongside the chicken.
