Blackening Spice

Achieve dramatic, restaurant-quality Cajun blackening right in your air fryer, no smoking cast-iron skillet required. This robust, smoky, and moderately spicy rub creates a beautiful, flavor-packed crust on fish fillets, chicken breasts, and shrimp. The high convection heat sears the spices perfectly while keeping the inside juicy.

Mix all ingredients well. Brush fish fillets or chicken breasts with melted butter or oil, then apply a heavy coat of the rub before air frying at a high temperature.
