Air Fryer Cajun Chicken and Corn

Air Fryer Cajun Chicken and Corn

Sometimes the easiest air fryer dinner recipes are the best, for example… Air Fryer Cajun Chicken and Corn!

It’s a simple meal for two with absolutely ZERO fancy schmancy-ness đŸ˜‰ But with 100% delicious-ness!

I used a pound of chicken thighs, but chicken breasts work too of course.

The thighs are more flavorful and moist, plus a bit more budget friendly compared to chicken breasts.
