Greek Chicken and Potatoes

Method

  1. 1

    Marinate chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.

  3. 3

    Place potatoes in the basket first, then nestle chicken thighs skin-side up on top.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 380°F for 25-30 minutes until chicken skin is crispy and internal temp hits 185°F and potatoes are golden.

  5. 5

    Top with crumbled feta, olives, and fresh dill. Serve with lemon wedges and tzatziki.

Pro tip. Putting the potatoes on the bottom lets them cook in the chicken drippings — that's where the flavor is. Marinate longer for more flavor; overnight is ideal.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 30 minutes. The same dish takes about 54 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. To bring them back, air fry at 325°F for 5-7 minutes. Portion first so the meat heats evenly. Cover breast with foil if it's drying out. Full reheat guide for whole chicken (portioned).
