Ingredients

4 Chicken thighs
600 g Potatoes
2 teaspoons Paprika
¼ teaspoon Rosemary
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ Parsley
½ teaspoon Garlic granules
½ teaspoon Onion granules
¼ teaspoon Black pepper
1.5 tablespoon Olive oil
Salt to taste

Instructions

Clean and pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
Mix Rosemary, paprika, Italian seasoning, cumin, garlic granules, onion granules, salt, and oil.
Add half of the seasoning mix to the chicken thighs and mix till the chicken are evenly coated.
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-2 inches cubes. Rinse the potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels.
Add the remaining seasoning to the potatoes and mix till combined.
Arrange the chicken thighs in the air fryer basket then add the potatoes to the spaces between the chicken.
Tip: If you want the juice from the chicken to infuse into the potatoes, line the air fryer basket with a foil, before arranging the chicken and potatoes. The potatoes will be tender and flavorful but not crispy on the side in the juice.
Air fry chicken and potatoes at 200C/400F for 15 minutes then turn them with a tong and continue to air fry for 10-15 more until the chicken thighs are cooked through and the potatoes are tender inside and crispy on the outside.
Take the basket out of the air fryer, rest the chicken for 5 minutes then serve and enjoy.

Notes

You can leave the skin on the potatoes if you prefer it that way however, make sure they are well scrubbed and clean.

The seasoning recommended in this recipe is perfect however if you want to, you can add one or two more herbs.

If you want the potatoes to cook evenly, don't arrange them under the chicken but rather in the spaces between the chicken thighs because the potatoes that are not under the chicken cook faster and perfectly while the ones under the chicken take longer to cook and are not as fluffy and crispy.

Rest the chicken for a few minutes before cutting so the juice inside has time to redistribute after cooking.

You can use the drippings in the air fryer basket base to make gravy or serve the drippings on the chicken and potatoes.
