- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne powder
Spicy Creamy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce

- 1 air fryer
- 2 small mixing bowls spicy sauce and spices
- 1 plate
