Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb potatoes about 750g
  • 4 large chicken thighs
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil divided
  • 1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt & black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prep: Wash the potatoes, peel them (optional), then cut them into bite sizes and add to a bowl (make sure they are completely pat dry with a paper kitchen towel). Trim any unwanted fat and excess skin from the chicken thighs and set aside.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 185C / 365F for 3-5 minutes. Carefully line the bottom air fryer basket with foil.
  • In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, cumin, turmeric, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. The spice blend will yield about 3 Tablespoons. You will only need 2 Tablespoons for this recipe.
    1 Tablespoon smoked paprika, 2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, Salt & black pepper
  • Drizzle 1 Tablespoon olive oil over the potatoes, then season with 1 Tablespoon of the spice blend. Mix to combine
    2 Tablespoons Olive oil, 1.5 lb potatoes
  • Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap.
  • Using the same bowl, season the chicken with 1 Tablespoon of the spice blend and olive oil and mix well until all the chicken is coated in the spice mixture.
    4 large chicken thighs
  • Place seasoned chicken thighs on top of the potatoes skin side down.
  • Air fry for 20 minutes at 185C / 365F. Remove the basket from the air fryer, then move the chicken to one side and move the potatoes from under the chicken around so they cook evenly. Flip the chicken thighs skin side up.
  • Cook for another 20 - 25 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165F /74C and the potatoes are fluffy on the inside.
  • Finish it off with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Serve with a side of mixed vegetables for a more balanced meal. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips
  • When using boneless chicken thighs, cook the potatoes for 10 minutes initially. Then, add the chicken and follow the recipe instructions in the recipe, but for 25 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through the cooking time.
  • Use any seasoning or flavor profile you prefer.
  • The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the potatoes and chicken.
