Instructions

6 steps
  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F if recommended by the manufacturer. Pat the chicken dry and cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces.

  2. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the garlic powder and paprika, and half the salt.

  3. Coat the chicken with the remaining olive oil, spices, salt, parsley, and black pepper.

  4. Arrange potatoes in a single layer and air fry for 8 minutes. Add the chicken in a separate layer if your basket is large enough; otherwise cook in batches.

  5. Continue air frying for around 15 to 17 minutes, turning chicken and shaking potatoes halfway through. Cook longer as needed until potatoes are fork-tender and the thickest part of each chicken thigh reaches 165°F.

  6. Rest the chicken for a few minutes and serve with potatoes and a green salad. Cooking time varies with appliance size and batch size.

Cooking note: Cooking times are estimates. Follow safe food-handling practices, check doneness with a food thermometer when appropriate, and always review ingredients for allergens.
