The Summer months are quickly approaching. And, as much as I’d like to think we will have more time for cooking extravagant meals, that just isn’t the case. In fact, I feel like we’re almost more busy when school is out. (Which doesn’t even feel possible, does it?!) Even with little to no time, I promise you can still make a delicious meal. This air fryer half chicken recipe is proof that a delicious meal can be made in a pinch!
What you’ll need
For this particular recipe, you’ll want to have a decent size air fryer. The air fryer that will work best is this one. As far as ingredients, there are really very few.
Here’s what you’ll need as far as ingredients:
- 3 potatoes, parboiled for faster cooking
- yellow onion
- baby carrots, parboiled for faster cooking
- 1 halved chicken (save the other half for another time!)
- olive oil
- thyme
- paprika
- garlic powder
- kosher salt
- pepper
That’s it! If you’re looking to pair it with an adult beverage, try this delicious Jalapeño Margarita recipe!
