Air-Fryer Spanish Paprika Chicken & Potato Boxes preparation stage

You’ll Need

600g chicken thighs, diced
500g baby potatoes, halved
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely sliced

Spanish Seasoning
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

To Finish
Fresh parsley
Juice of ½ lemon

Optional but Dangerous
Aioli
Green olives
Crusty bread

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.

In a large bowl mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Add the chicken, potatoes, and sliced garlic.

Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

Air fry at 200°C for 18–20 minutes, shaking every 5–6 minutes, until the potatoes are crisp and the chicken is deeply golden.

Continue cooking until the garlic softens and starts caramelising around the edges.

Finish with fresh parsley and lemon juice.

Serve immediately with aioli or olives if using.

Lad Tip: Spanish paprika is doing most of the heavy lifting here, so use the good stuff if you've got it. The smell alone should make people wander into the kitchen asking what you're cooking.
