How to make Tuscan Garlic Herb Chicken With Roasted Potatoes
- Prepare the marinade. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C for 5 minutes. Cube the carrots, chow chow and mooli into bite-sized pieces, and mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
- Coat and arrange. Rub the marinade generously over the chicken thighs and vegetables. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket without overlapping and spread the vegetables evenly around it.
- Air fry the chicken. Air fry the chicken and vegetables at 180°C for 25 minutes, flipping the chicken thighs halfway through so they roast evenly on both sides.
- Check the temperature. Check that the chicken thighs have reached an internal temperature of 75°C, then transfer the chicken and vegetables from the air fryer to a serving plate.
- Garnish and serve. Finish with extra Italian seasoning or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavour, and serve the chicken and vegetables straight away.
