Cajun Chicken

1 lbs Chicken thighs boneless and skinless
1.5 tbsp cajun seasoning
2 tbsp avocado oil

6 Brioche Buns +1 tbsp of butter or cooking spray if you'd like to toast the buns
6 slices Pepper Jack Cheese optional

6 slices Tomato
6 slices Pickles
6 slices Red Onions

Instructions

Make the Cajun Chicken

Add the chicken thighs to a large mixing bowl with the spices and oil. Be sure to unravel the chicken if needed.
Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Place the chicken thighs in a single layer on the air fryer basket. Be sure to get as much of the oil and spices from the bowl as possible.
Air fry 400 for 18-20 min.
Optional for cheese: add cheese to the tops of the chicken and melt for 30 seconds to 1 minute at 400 degrees in the air fryer.

Toast the Buns

Melt about 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet or griddle pan on medium-low heat.
Open the brioche buns and toast them open face down on top of the butter for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Assemble the Sandwiches

Add the toasted brioche buns to a plate and add about 1 spoonful of spicy mayo per bun half.
Layer the chicken and other toppings.
