Cooking Instructions

• Start by washing the potatoes thoroughly. Then, cut them into 1-inch pieces, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking. Next, take your chicken breasts and cut them into 1-inch pieces as well.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken and potatoes. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (if using), oregano, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken and potatoes are well coated in the seasoning mixture.
• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial to ensure your chicken and potatoes cook evenly and achieve that crispy texture.
• Once preheated, place the seasoned chicken and potatoes in the air fryer basket. Make sure not to overcrowd the basket for the best results. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• In the last 5 minutes of cooking, drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken and potatoes. Add the last 2 minced garlic cloves, the remaining teaspoon of smoked paprika, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This will enhance the flavor and give everything a nice golden finish.
• Make sure the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The potatoes should be tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
• Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and potatoes from the air fryer. Serve them hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Chicken and Potatoes with your favorite dipping sauces or a side salad!
