Air Fryer Chicken Thighs and Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes (Cut into 1-inch cubes; baby red potatoes or sweet potatoes may be substituted.)
• 1 medium Red onion (Cut into 8 wedges; try to keep the wedges together.)
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper (For the vegetables.)
• 1 tsp Garlic salt (For the vegetables.)
• 0.5 tsp Italian seasoning (Chopped dried rosemary or dried herbs de Provence may be substituted.)
• 1.5 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil (For tossing with the vegetables.)
• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (Cut each thigh into 4 pieces; trim excess fat.)
• Salt (Sprinkle lightly over the chicken; amount not specified.)
• Black pepper (Sprinkle lightly over the chicken; amount not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Place the potato chunks, onion wedges, ground black pepper, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and olive oil in the air-fryer basket. Toss gently to combine, taking care to keep the onion wedges together rather than separating them into individual slices so they do not burn.

3. 3

   Air-fry the potatoes and onions for 15 minutes, shaking the basket after 7–8 minutes of cooking.

4. 4

   While the vegetables cook, trim excess fat from the chicken thighs.

5. 5

   Sprinkle the chicken pieces lightly with salt and black pepper.

6. 6

   Arrange the chicken thigh pieces on top of the potatoes and onions.

7. 7

   Air-fry the chicken, potatoes, and onions for 7–8 additional minutes, until the chicken is completely cooked through and reaches 165°F when tested in the thickest part.

8. 8

   Toss the chicken thighs and potatoes together in the air fryer, then serve immediately.

Notes

Do not double the recipe in the air fryer, because overcrowding prevents the ingredients from browning. Cooking time may vary by air-fryer wattage; the recipe was tested in a 1600-watt Cosori 5.8-quart air fryer. Lower-wattage air fryers may take longer, while higher-wattage models may cook faster.
