Notes
- If you don't have an air fryer, you can cook the potatoes according to the instructions on the package- it will just take longer for them to crisp up properly.
- Start the potatoes in the air fryer first and then get the chicken going a few minutes into the potatoes cooking so you're using your time wisely.
- Adjust the seasoning to suit your tastes.
