With the holiday season in full swing, I need easy recipes that my family will eat and this Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Thighs & Roasted Potatoes is just what I was looking for! Prep for this is super easy and it is something my family always asks to have seconds!
I am trying out my Air Fryer more and more and I know you will be too, with delicious recipes like this one! It’s a fun & tasty spin on your plain ol’ Chicken & Potatoes, but your family will love it! When it comes to my nights, I am rushing around with after school activities, homework, and oh yeah, don’t forget my very active pre-toddler! So, I need to be in & out of the kitchen as my mom duties call! That’s where this Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Thighs & Roasted Potatoes is my dream come true.
Now, I use chicken thighs for this particular recipe, but you could always tweak it with your favorite pieces of chicken. (Just make sure that you are checking that the internal temperature for your chicken does reach that safe 165 degrees.) I like the taste of the chicken thighs and I can usually find them on a great sale if I watch my local ads! Additionally, if you don’t want it quite so HOT for your family, you could always use just 1 of the chopped chilies to take away a bit of the fire! We like things HOT in our house…YUM!
For the potatoes, I prefer using baby potatoes as I have a lot less prep work for them! However, you could make them more colorful and get the mixed fingerlings to add a fun addition to your plate. Notice, they are still the smaller sizes, so prep won’t change much at all, but could a fun & colorful variation to this meal.
My mouth is salivating already for this as I may just have to make this again tonight! YUM! This Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Thighs & Roasted Potatoes would be a great addition to your weekly meal plan! So, what are you waiting for?
