This simple and delicious dish combines juicy chicken and perfectly roasted potatoes, all cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer. Perfect for a quick dinner!
Ingredients
- 4 medium chicken thighs or drumsticks (skin-on, bone-in)
- 4 medium potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano or thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes. - Prepare the Ingredients
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and half the spices (garlic powder, paprika, and oregano/thyme).
- In a bowl, toss the potato cubes with olive oil, the remaining spices, salt, and pepper.
- Layer the Ingredients
- Place the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each piece.
- Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the chicken in a single layer.
- Cook
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes. Shake the basket or flip the potatoes halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken’s internal temperature (should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Crisp It Up
- If you prefer extra-crispy skin, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C) and air fry for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Remove the chicken and potatoes from the air fryer. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan if desired.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
Tips
- Add sliced onions, carrots, or bell peppers for extra veggies.
- For boneless chicken, reduce cooking time by 5–10 minutes.
