Total Time: 50-55 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs

2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Potatoes:

1 lb baby potatoes, quartered

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp Italian seasoning

¼ tsp salt & black pepper

½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Air Fryer Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken & Potatoes

Pat dry the chicken with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the chicken.

In another bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Air Fry the Chicken

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Place the chicken skin-side up in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 20 minutes.

Add the Potatoes & Finish Cooking

After 20 minutes, add the seasoned potatoes around the chicken.

Serve & Enjoy!

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve with the potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra lemon juice.

Oven Instructions (Alternative Cooking Method)

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Place seasoned chicken and potatoes in a baking dish.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, flipping potatoes halfway through.

Broil for 5 minutes at the end for extra crispiness.

Tips & Variations:

Bone-in vs. Boneless: Bone-in chicken stays juicier, but you can use boneless chicken (reduce cooking time by 5-10 minutes).

Add Vegetables: Toss in carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers for more variety.

Spicy Kick: Add chili powder or cayenne pepper for heat.

Crispier Potatoes: Arrange in a single layer and avoid overcrowding.
