Report
An easy and delicious air fryer recipe for chicken thighs, with or without roasted potatoes.
Share:
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (organic)
- 1 tsp sea salt plus more for potatoes
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil another tablespoon for the potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 large sprig fresh Rosemary
- ⅛ tsp black pepper (optional)
- 3 potatoes (organic)
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, or covered dish, place the chicken thighs with the salt, lemon juice, oil, garlic and rosemary (and black pepper, if using). Mix well and chill overnight or for a few hours, minimum.
- About an hour before dinner time, remove the chicken from the fridge and continue with the recipe.
Prepare the Potatoes :
- Scrub and cut the potatoes in into pieces (if not organic, peel the potatoes). Put into a pot or bowl and cover with water for 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry, then put back into a dry bowl or pot, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and toss to coat.
- Turn the air fryer on and preheat to 400℉ (200℃).
Roast the Chicken in the Air Fryer (with the potatoes):
- Put a layer of the oil coated potatoes into the bottom of the air fryer and top with the four chicken thighs.
- Don't add any of the liquid marinade, but the pieces of garlic and rosemary are fine. Set for 20 minutes and allow to cook.
- Check the chicken thighs, but don't do it too often as it will slow down the cooking.
- Turn the thighs and stir the potatoes after about 10 minutes.
- Continue to cook, and you'll begin to smell a gorgeous aroma! You can turn the thighs over one last time and stir the potatoes so they brown evenly.
- Check the temperature with an inexpensive meat thermometer and cook for a few more minutes, if necessary, before taking the chicken thighs out of the air fryer.
Serve the Air Fryer Chicken Thighs and Potatoes:
- Remove the chicken first, then sprinkle the potatoes with salt, as desired.
- You can serve the dish directly onto individual plates, or put onto a serving platter with some sprigs of rosemary (this is nice if you're having company).

Notes
- It's important to note that marinating the chicken thighs is very important in this recipe. You won't have the same results if you skip this step.
- NB: you can cook this in a traditional oven at 375 F for 45 minutes (turning once or twice) or until cooked.
