Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1" cubes
  • 1 medium red onion cut into 8 wedges
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 4 pieces each

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer on 400 F for 5 minutes.
  • Add the potato chunks, onion wedges, black pepper, salt, Italian seasoning, and olive oil to the air fryer. Toss to combine, trying to be careful to try and keep the onion wedges together onions into individual slices. (they could burn otherwise)
  • Air fry the potatoes and onions for 15 minutes, shaking the basket after 7-8 minutes of cooking time.
  • While the veggies are cooking, trim the extra fat from the chicken thighs and sprinkle them lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Lay the chicken thigh pieces on top of the potatoes and onions and air fry the chicken thighs and potatoes for 7-8 more minutes until the chicken is completely cooked through and the internal temperature tested in the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 F.
  • Toss the chicken thighs and potatoes in air fryer together and serve immediately.

Notes

Baby red potatoes or sweet potatoes can be used instead of Yukon gold.
Do not double this recipe in your air fryer, otherwise, the ingredients will be too crowded together and they won't brown.
Instead of Italian seasoning, chopped dried rosemary or dried herbs de Provence are great options.
Air fryers can vary in cooking speed due to the watts. The recipe was tested in a Cosori 5.8 QT air fryer that's 1600 watts. If your air fryer has less watts it'll take longer to cook, if it has higher watts, it will cook faster.
