This easy air-fryer chicken recipe pairs juicy chicken thighs with a sweet and sticky sauce. The addition of crispy savoury potatoes makes this meal a family favourite, and it's a great alternative to ordering a takeaway.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the air-fryer to 190C. Mix together 2/3rds of the oil, all of the honey, soy sauce and paprika with some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the chicken thighs with the glaze, then air-fry for 10 mins while you parboil the potatoes.

Step 2

Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 5 mins. Drain well, then toss with the remaining oil, the herbs and some salt and pepper.

Step 3

Tip the potatoes into the air fryer, along with the chicken, ensuring they sit in a single layer. (If you are cooking more than two portions, you may need to cook the potatoes and chicken in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.) Cook for a further 15 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through, until the potatoes are crisp and the chicken is well browned and completely cooked through. Serve with a mixed salad, if you like.
