Time 8h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)
1 teaspoon Goya Sazonador Total
2 pounds bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
¼ cup water
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon vinegar
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ pound baby red potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

Steps:

  • Mix paprika, garlic, onion powder, Greek seasoning, sazonador total, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon seasoning in a small bowl; cover and set aside until needed for the potatoes.
  • Place remaining seasoning in a 1-gallon resealable bag with water, 4 tablespoons olive oil, and vinegar. Add chicken thighs; massage to coat with seasoning, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon reserved seasoning in a small bowl with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; stir to combine. Toss potatoes in and stir until well coated. Combine potatoes and thighs in the air fryer basket.
  • Cook in the preheated air fryer until potatoes are tender and chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 28 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For best results, use small, waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. These potatoes will hold their shape better during cooking and will get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are cut into different sizes, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
  • Season the potatoes well: Before cooking, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help them develop a delicious flavor.
  • Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the potatoes. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. If the potatoes are too crowded, they will not cook evenly.
  • Shake the basket halfway through cooking: This will help the potatoes cook evenly on all sides.
  • Check the potatoes for doneness: Insert a fork into the center of a potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done. If the fork meets resistance, the potato needs to cook longer.

Conclusion:

Air fryer chicken and potatoes is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. This dish is also relatively healthy, as it is cooked with little oil. With a few simple tips, you can easily make delicious air fryer chicken and potatoes at home.
