Ingredients

• Potatoes – I used russet potatoes
• Avocado oil – I always use avocado oil for high-heat cooking.
• Seasonings: salt and black pepper, but you can also add Italian seasoning, rosemary, or herbs de Provence. Even fresh garlic would be great too!
• Boneless skinless chicken thighs – You can use bone-in chicken thighs
• Fresh lemon (to be juiced)

Tips & Tricks

To ensure that the chicken stays moist, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. Once they reach 165F, remove them from the air fryer. Don’t overcook.

If your potatoes are large, you may need to cook them separately. Try not to pile them too high in the air fryer basket because they won’t get all nice and crispy.
