Method

step 1

Heat the air-fryer to 190C. Mix together 1 tbsp of the oil, the honey, soy sauce and paprika with some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush the chicken with the glaze, then air-fry for 8 mins.
step 2

Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 5 mins. Drain well, then toss with the remaining ½ tbsp oil, the herbs and some salt and pepper.
step 3

Tip the potatoes into the air-fryer, ensuring they sit in a single layer. Cook for a further 15 mins or so, turning 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.

Cook’s tip

If you have a two-drawer air fryer, you may prefer to cook the chicken and potatoes in separate drawers. If so, cook the potatoes at 200C for an even crispier finish.
