Make Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs in an air fryer! Chicken marinates in olive oil and spices before cooking. Crispy outside, juicy inside!

If you’re looking for a delicious air fryer recipe using chicken, may I suggest this one for garlic herb chicken thighs? It is a simple recipe to prepare with very minimal prep and the chicken comes out fantastic every time I’ve made it.

You will use 4 large bone in, skin on chicken thighs. They are coated with a seasoning marinade for 30 minutes before cooking. Pop them in the air fryer and cook for 20 minutes, and the result is a delicious, flavorful main dish!

It’s such a simple recipe, and it’s so good. Here’s how to make garlic herb chicken thighs in an air fryer.

Prepare The Chicken Thighs

Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels. The skin is left on for this recipe, because it adds to the crispiness of the finished garlic herb chicken thighs.

Once patted dry, place the chicken thighs in a large bowl, and set it aside while you prepare a simple seasoning mix.

Four bone-in, skin on chicken thighs, ready to be marinated.

Make The Seasoning Mix

The spice mix is a cinch to make! Simply mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, rosemary and tarragon in a small bowl until they’re combined.

That’s it… see how easy that was? You will use ALL of this mixture for the four chicken thighs.

Dry spices are combined in bowl for the chicken marinade.Garlic powder, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary and tarragon are mixed.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken thighs, then add the seasoning mix on top. Use your hands to rub and coat the chicken with oil and the spices.

Continue until all the chicken thighs are coated on all sides with oil and spices. Rub the mixture into the surface of the chicken so it adheres.

Let the spice/oil-coated chicken marinate for 30 minutes. This allows the spices (and oil, for crispiness) to help give flavor to the chicken skin and meat, before they are cooked.

Chicken is covered with olive oil, then spices are added and combined.Chicken thighs marinate 30 minutes, covered in the spice and oil mixture.

Now It’s Time For The Air Fryer!

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F. NOTE: My air fryer preheats at a default temp. of 400°F, so I preheat it at this temperature, then adjust it down to cook the chicken thighs.

Once the air fryer has preheated, adjust the temperature to 380°F. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the inner basket, leaving a small amount of space between each one.

TIP: If you are cooking more than 4 thighs, be sure to not overcrowd the basket, to ensure each piece of chicken cooks evenly and becomes crisp on the outside.

marinated chicken thighs are place in air fryer basket for cooking.

Select the CHICKEN button if your air fryer has that feature. If not, set the timer for 20 minutes (at 380°F.) . Press START, and air fry the chicken for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, press PAUSE, and flip the chicken thighs over to the other side. They should already be nicely browned at this point.

Continue cooking the other side for the remaining 10 minutes OR until the garlic herb chicken thighs reach a “safe” internal temperature of 165°F.

Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs are flipped over halfway through air frying.

Serve The Garlic Herb Chicken Thighs

The garlic herb chicken thighs should be fully cooked at this point and can now be served. We let them rest for 1-2 minutes to let the internal juices redistribute through the meat before serving.

The chicken thighs taste great, thanks to the marinade! They also are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Serve with your favorite sides, and enjoy this simple meat dish!

Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits taste amazing! You’re going to love these soft, buttery biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.
Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits taste amazing! You're going to love these soft, buttery biscuits filled with cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.

Do you enjoy biscuits? We sure do, and the recipe I am sharing today is a fantastic one for making them in an air fryer! I found the original recipe in a manual that came with my air fryer, and only made a couple small changes.

Let me tell you, these air fryer cheddar biscuits (with diced jalapeños) are SO GOOD! They are big enough biscuits that sometimes my hubby and I split one, and every bite is full of deliciousness.

The prep is fairly minimal, but the results are amazing! If you have an air fryer, I hope you will try this biscuit recipe. Here’s how to make them.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Make The Dough For The Cheddar Biscuits

Sift all purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and baking soda together into a large mixing bowl. Cut VERY COLD butter into small chunks and add them to the sifted dry ingredients.

Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Continue until the dough becomes crumbly, and the butter has been reduced to the size of peas.

Cold butter is cut into the dry, sifted flour mixture.It's ready when the cold butter is reduced to the size of peas.

Add grated cheddar cheese and finely diced jalapenos to the dry ingredients and stir, to combine. Once combined, pour in the buttermilk, and stir until it has been incorporated into the mixture.

NOTE: The jalapeno flavor is very mild in this recipe (as written). Don’t like jalapeños? Leave them out! Do you LOVE jalapeños? Add more, if desired, to suit your taste.

Grated cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños are added to dough mixture.Cold buttermilk is added to the cheddar biscuit dough and stirred to combine.

Continue to stir until all the dough ingredients have been fully combined in a shaggy mound of dough.

The ball of dough for the air fryer cheddar biscuits is ready.

Shape, Slice, And Top With Melted Butter

Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the basket of your air fryer. Place the dough in a mound in the middle of the paper.

Shape the dough into a square, about 1″ thick, using your hands (a bit sticky). Slice the dough into 4 equal-sized squares using a knife or pizza cutter (my favorite way to cut them).

Separate them a bit on the parchment paper, and then brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter. Now they’re ready for the air fryer.

Dough is formed into a square, then cut in 4 equal squares with pizza cutter.Four biscuits brushed on top with melted butter.

Time For the Air Fryer!

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. Once it has reached temperature, carefully place the parchment paper and biscuits into the basket. Cook the biscuits at 350°F for 12 minutes without disturbing them.

When done, the air fryer cheddar biscuits should be nicely browned on top and cooked all the way through. Transfer the parchment paper (and biscuits) to a wire rack to cool for 1 minute before serving.

Slice through the biscuits to separate them from each other, because they may have cooked together as they rose and cooked in the pan.

Time To Enjoy The Air Fryer Cheddar Biscuits

Serve the air fryer cheddar biscuits while they’re warm and enjoy! My husband and I split them in half at times, because they are a large biscuit, and are a bit calorically “challenging”!

The biscuits are buttery and slightly crunchy on the outside, but the inside is soft and fluffy! These delicious biscuits taste outstanding, as well, and the jalapeños only add a tiny amount of heat.

I hope you enjoy these amazing biscuits and trust you have the same reaction we did when we tried them the very first time. We said “WOW”!!!

Make a delicious Blackberry Pecan Crisp any time, using fresh or frozen blackberries! This simple dessert is topped with crumbly streusel.
Make a delicious Blackberry Pecan Crisp any time, using fresh or frozen blackberries! This simple dessert is topped with crumbly streusel.

Do you enjoy blackberries? We sure do! We have wild blackberry vines that grow over part of our back fence from a neighboring park, and I love to pick them each summer and make wonderful treats using them!

The recipe I’m sharing today is fairly similar to a blackberry crisp recipe I’ve posted in the past, but this one includes pecans in the streusel topping. I also changed a few of the ingredients, and the quantities I used to make this are also different in this particular recipe.

Fresh OR frozen (unthawed) blackberries can be used in this recipe, which makes it convenient to make this dessert any time of the year!

It’s a simple, classic dessert recipe I’m sure you’ll enjoy, because it is DELICIOUS! Here’s how to make blackberry pecan crisp.

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Make The Streusel Topping

To make the streusel topping for the blackberry crisp, whisk together old fashioned oats, flour, brown sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Continue mixing until combined, breaking up any brown sugar lumps you may find in the streusel topping.

Add COLD butter chunks to this mixture. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the streusel topping until the butter is about the size of peas.

Stir in chopped pecans, until they have been incorporated into the streusel. Set the bowl of streusel topping aside.

A streusel topping is combined to use on the fruit crisp.Chopped pecans are stirred into the streusel topping for the blackberry crisp.

Prepare The Blackberry Filling

TIP: You can use fresh OR frozen blackberries for this recipe. If using frozen blackberries, do not thaw them before adding!

Place blackberries, granulated sugar, all purpose flour and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently, until the ingredients are fully combined.

Blackberries are combined with sugar, flour and lemon juice in a bowl.The blackberry filling is now combined and ready for the baking dish.

Into The Baking Pan It Goes!

Lightly spray or grease a baking dish, approximately 6″ x 9″ or  you can use an 8″ square pan. Be sure to spray the pan on the bottom and all sides.

Spread the blackberry filling in the baking dish, evenly distributing it across the bottom until the pan is filled.

NOTE: Occasionally I will use disposable aluminum pans that come with lids, so I can freeze the blackberry crisp after it has been baked (and cooled)! I made this one (shown below in the photos) in the Fall, but we thawed it, and enjoyed it (reheated) in January!

A baking dish filled with the blackberry fruit filling.

Bake The Blackberry Pecan Crisp

Sprinkle the blackberry fruit filling with all of the streusel topping, making sure the entire top is covered. Once it is fully covered, the blackberry pecan crisp is ready for the oven!

Bake at 350°F. for about 40-45 minutes. When done, the blackberry pecan crisp should be bubbly all around the edges, and it should be golden brown on top.

Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let the crisp cool for 15 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken and firm up a bit as it cools, which will help with easier serving.

Pecan streusel topping is sprinkled over the surface of the blackberry crisp.The blackberry pecan crisp cools on a wire rack after being baked.

Time To Enjoy The Blackberry Pecan Crisp

Once the crisp has cooled slightly (15 minutes of patiently waiting!), it’s time to serve this delicious dessert!

Spoon out individual servings, and top each portion with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. I’m pretty sure somewhere there’s an unwritten law that states that cobblers and crisps must be served a la mode… ha ha!

The slightly warm (and oh so delicious) blackberry pecan crisp will  begin to soften that ice cream perfectly! Grab a fork or spoon and dig in! Its absolutely delicious, and I’m confident you’re going to enjoy this treat.

I really hope you enjoy this classic dessert, and will enjoy this recipe for many years to come! Whether you use fresh berries or frozen, this is a simple and absolutely yummy fruit crisp!

We store any leftover blackberry crisp (covered) in the refrigerator, and then leftovers can be easily reheated in a microwave to enjoy later!

Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back again soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a GREAT day!

Make Air Fryer Pork Chops For Two! This quick, easy recipe yields delicious, spice-rubbed, bone-in pork chops for two people in 20 minutes.
Make Air Fryer Pork Chops For Two! This quick, easy recipe yields delicious, spice-rubbed, bone-in pork chops for two people in 20 minutes.

If you enjoy eating pork chops and have an air fryer, then I’m confident you will LOVE this recipe! The recipe makes two servings, which is convenient for my husband and I, since we’re the only ones left at home. Both of our grown sons live on their own, so it is a fun challenge to alter recipes at times to only make enough for the TWO of us.

Air Fryer Pork Chops For Two is a recipe I originally found online. I cut the recipe in half for the two of us, and gave it a try in our air fryer a few months ago. My husband and I loved the flavor of the air-fried pork chops, thanks to a flavorful, homemade spice rub mixture!

The pork chops were perfectly cooked and browned on the outside, juicy on the inside, and they tasted wonderful! We’ve enjoyed this dish several times since then!

It only takes about 10 minutes to prepare the spice mix and season the meat, then into a preheated air fryer they go. The pork chops cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they reach temp. All you need to do is flip them over halfway through the cooking time! How’s that for EASY? Here’s how to make them:

Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

Preheat Your Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer for five minutes at 400°F. If your machine doesn’t have a Preheat function, simply heat it for 5 minutes at that temperature (400°F). You want your air fryer hot when you add the seasoned pork chops, for best results.

I usually mix up the spices, and season the pork chops while the air fryer preheats, because that saves time! Try it… you’ll see what I mean!

An air fryer is preheated to 400°F. before cooking seasoned pork chops.

Make The Seasoning Mix

The spice mix is simple to make from scratch! You need brown sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and sweet paprika.

Mix these spices together in a small bowl, until they are fully combined.

There are quite a few spices that make up the spice rub for the air fryer pork chops.A bowl with homemade spice mixture to rub onto the pork chops before they cook.

Season The Pork Chops

For this recipe you will need two bone-in pork chops, approx. 6-7 ounces each. Each pork chop should be about ¾ to 1″ thick, so they will cook evenly and for about the same amount of time.

Pat the chops dry using paper towels to absorb extra moisture. Use a pastry brush to cover BOTH SIDES of each pork chop with melted butter.

Cover BOTH SIDES of each pork chop with the spice mixture, rubbing it into the buttered pork chops so it adheres as much as possible. Use all of the spice mix, for the very best flavor on those chops!

Once the pork chops are coated with the spices, they are ready to pop into a preheated air fryer!

Two, six ounce bone-in pork chops, patted dry, and ready to be seasoned.Both sides of the pork chops are brushed with melted butter.Spice mixture is rubbed into both sides of the pork chops before cooking.

Cooking The Pork Chops In the Air Fryer

Place the seasoned chops in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer. Please note that if you are making more than two pork chops, you may have to work in batches to ensure they fit in the basket. This also allows the meat to “air fry” better as the hot air can circulate around the pork chops more efficiently!

Cook the air fryer pork chops for two at 400°F. for about 6 minutes. Remove the basket, and flip the pork chops over to the other side.

Re-insert basket into the air fryer and continue cooking for 2-4 more minutes OR until a meat thermometer inserted into the middle of a chop reaches 145°F. When done, the pork chops should be nicely browned on the surface, and cooked to 145°F.

The thickness of the pork chops used will ultimately determine how long they take to air fry. Typically, it should take between 8-10 minutes TOTAL time to cook them to temperature.

A couple of times, ours were fully cooked after 7 minutes total time. Keep an eye on them, so you do not overcook or undercook them!

Well seasoned pork chops are placed in basket of air fryer in one layer.Air fryer pork chops for two have been flipped over to finish cooking.

Serve The Air Fryer Pork Chops For Two

Once done, remove the pork chops from the air fryer, and let them rest for 4-5 minutes before serving. This “resting” time lets the juices inside have time to redistribute inside the meat, so the pork chops remain juicy.

Once they’ve rested, garnish the pork chops with fresh parsley, and serve! The pork chops are juicy, and have wonderful flavor, thanks to the homemade spice mix you used to season them.

Serve immediately, while hot! We enjoy air fryer pork chops for two served with mashed potatoes and a green veggie on the side. YUM!

  1. Preheat air fryer for five minutes at 400°F.

  2. Mix brown sugar, salt, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, sweet paprika, onion and garlic powders, and pepper in a small bowl, until well combined.

  3. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels to absorb moisture. Use a pastry brush to cover BOTH SIDES of each pork chop with melted butter.

  4. Cover BOTH SIDES of each pork chop with spice mix, rubbing it into the buttered pork chops so it adheres as much as possible.

  5. Place chops in a single layer in air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F. for about 6 minutes. Flip pork chops over. Continue cooking 2-4 minutes OR until a meat thermometer inserted into a chop reaches 145°F. and chops are nicely browned. NOTE: *If making more than two chops, work in batches. This allows meat to "air fry" better as hot air can circulate around pork chops more efficiently!

  6. Once done, remove pork chops from air fryer. Let them rest 4-5 minutes before serving. This lets juices have time to redistribute inside, so the pork chops remain juicy. Garnish chops with parsley (optional), and serve!

Air Fryer Crusted Mahi Mahi is a delicious, easy dish! Mahi Mahi fillets are coated in seasoned Panko breadcrumbs and air fried until crispy!

Today I want to share a recipe for air fryer crusted mahi mahi (its Hawaiian name) that we really enjoy! Boneless fillets of this firm white fish are covered with a seasoned panko breadcrumb topping, and then cooked in an air fryer until browned and crispy!

The recipe could not be more simple, and if you happen to own an air fryer you’ll appreciate how easy is to prepare this crispy fish.

We love mahi mahi! It does not have a “fishy taste”, but is a mild flavored piece of fish. Frozen individually wrapped fillets can be found in the frozen food department of many grocery stores (or Costco), and whole fillets can often be found at a local fish market.

The prep time for this is only about 5 minutes, then the mahi mahi cooks in the air fryer, with only a quick flip over, about halfway through the cooking. That’s it! 

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with this delicious piece of seafood. If you’re interested in learning more about this type of fish, be sure to check out the information HERE, which tells you the origins of this fish, where it is commonly found, and lots of other cool facts! Here’s how to make air fryer crusted mahi mahi.

Prepare The Panko And Spice Topping

NOTE: Before making the topping for the fish, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. The prep for this dish only takes a few minutes, so you want the air fryer hot, in order to save time!

Combine panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Stir to fully combine these ingredients.

This is the panko topping that will coat and season the mahi mahi. The crispy panko breadcrumbs are what will give the fish its crunchy texture on the outside!

Panko breadcrumbs are combined with a variety of spices to coat the fish fillets.

Prepare The Fish Fillets

Use several paper towels to pat each of the mahi mahi fillets dry. Use a pastry brush to coat all sides of each piece of fish with olive oil.

Please note that we only used three fillets this time instead of four, as the recipe calls for. 

Mahi Mahi fillets are dried off with paper towels then wait to be breaded.Each fish fillet is brushed on all sides with olive oil.

Add Breadcrumb Seasoning To The Mahi Mahi

Place the mahi mahi fillets (one at a time) onto the breadcrumb seasoning mixture. Press the breadcrumbs on gently, to help adhere them to the fish. Coat all sides of the fish with the seasoned panko.

Place each coated fillet onto a large plate, then lightly spritz the top and bottom of each piece of fish with additional olive oil. This will help the panko breadcrumb coating to become very crisp on both sides.

The oiled Mahi Mahi fillets are coated, one at a time in seasoned panko breadcrumbs.Panko coated fish fillets are spritzed with olive oil before being put into air fryer to cook.

Cooking The Mahi Mahi Fillets

Place the breaded/sprayed mahi mahi fillets (in a single layer) in the basket of the air fryer. Cook at 400°F. for 6-7 minutes, then gently turn the fish fillets over to the other side.

They should be nicely browned on the surface. Continue cooking for an additional 6-8 minutes until cooked through. The panko crust on the fish should be nicely browned and crispy, as well.

Be careful to not overcook the fish. Because mahi mahi is a very lean fish, if overcooked, it runs the risk of being dry, and we don’t want that, do we?

Three crusted mahi mahi fillets are placed in the air fryer basket to be cooked.Halfway through the air frying time, the fillets are flipped to cook the other side.

Serve The Air Fryer Crusted Mahi Mahi

Transfer the air fryer crusted mahi mahi to individual serving plates. Garnish each piece of fish with a lemon wedge or two (for squeezing) and fresh parsley for additional color and flavor.

We also love to add peach/mango salsa (which we get at Costco), and lightly spoon it over the top of each piece. That is optional, but oh so good!

The air fryer crusted mahi mahi pairs well with a great variety of side dishes. When I made the dish this time, I served it with Pineapple Topped Sweet Potato Puff. That was a unique pairing, but they actually ended up complimenting each other very well!

I hope you have the chance to try this delicious seafood recipe, and trust you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. If you enjoy mahi mahi, be sure to try Easy Baked Mahi Mahi, or Mahi Mahi with Corn & Avocado Salsa,too!

    Make a scrumptious Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cake with 5 minutes prep and 10 minutes cooking time! Easy recipe makes 2 gooey molten lava cakes!

    Now that summer is officially upon us, I decided to share a recipe for a delicious dessert that can be easily made in an air fryer! Because this simple, decadent recipe only takes 5 minutes to prepare, and takes only 10 minutes in an air fryer, it won’t heat up your kitchen too much!

    If you’ve neve tried a chocolate molten lava cake before, you’re in for a TREAT! Once an air fryer chocolate lava cake has cooked, it is allowed to cool for just a few minutes. Then once you take the first forkful out of it, the fudgy, chocolate center oozes out of the cake… just like a lava flow! It is wonderfully delicious, and today I want to show you how simple they are to make.

    You will need an air fryer for this recipe! I received mine several years ago as a birthday gift from family, and it is a hot-air driven appliance. Food cooks with super hot air (like a convection oven) in shorter amounts of time. I found the original recipe in a recipe booklet that came with my Cosori air fryer, and love it. Here’s how to make air fryer chocolate lava cake:

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Make The Batter For The Chocolate Lava Cakes

    TIP: To save time, preheat your air fryer to 320°F. while making the cake batter. The batter takes 5 minutes or less to make, and you want the air fryer preheated and ready to use, once the batter is made.

    To make the cake batter, place semi-sweet (or dark) chocolate chips and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on High power for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir the ingredients until completely smooth. If necessary, put the bowl back in the microwave an additional 15-30 seconds if chocolate did not completely melt on the first try. Stir again. Once done, the chocolate and butter mixture should be smooth.

    Butter and chocolate chips are melted in a microwave safe bowl.Bowl with melted butter and melted chocolate chips, stirred until smooth.

    Whisk powdered sugar, one egg, and one egg YOLK into the chocolate batter until fully combined. Once combined, fold flour into this mixture until incorporated. The batter will be fairly thick when done. TA DA! This is the batter for the lava cakes, and you can see how simple it is to make, right?

    An egg, an egg yolk, and powdered sugar are whisked in bowl until combined.Flour is folded into the thick batter for the air fryer chocolate lava cake.

    Ready For The Air Fryer

    Generously grease, spray or butter the bottom and sides of two 4″ ramekins, and then dust them with flour. Don’t skip this step! You do NOT want the lava cakes to stick to the ramekin once they’re ready to be plated!

    Evenly divide the batter between the two ramekins, then place them into the preheated air fryer basket. Cook at 320°F. for 10 minutes. When done, transfer the ramekins from the basket onto a wire rack, and allow them to cool slightly for 4-5 minutes.

    Ramekins are buttered or greased, then coated with flour before adding lava cake batter.Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cake is cooked in an air fryer basket for 10 minutes.

    Cool, Then Remove Cake From Ramekin

    Once the air fryer chocolate lava cake has cooled (4-5 minutes), run a butter knife carefully around the inside edge of each ramekin. Carefully invert the ramekins (turn upside down), one at a time onto serving plates. If greased well, the cake should turn out EASILY onto the plate, upside down. Now you’re ready to decorate and serve this amazing dessert!

    After cooling for 5 minutes, the air fryer chocolate lava cake is inverted onto a plate.

    Serving The Air Fryer Chocolate Lava Cake

    Generously sift additional powdered sugar over the top of each air fryer chocolate lava cake. If desired, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some berries onto each plate, and serve while still hot. When you cut into the lava cake, the fudgy chocolate filling should slowly ooze out from the center of the cake. It’s SO YUMMY!

    Dusted with powdered sugar, air fryer chocolate lava cake is served with ice cream and raspberries.

    Hot melted chocolate oozes out of the air fryer chocolate lava cake once cut.

    I hope you have the chance to try this delicious dessert! I’m confident you and those you love will love it as much as we do… it’s decadent tasting. Thanks for stopping by, and I invite you to come back soon for more family-friendly recipes. Take care, may God bless you, and have a GREAT day!

    It doesn't take long to make Air Fryer Crispy Mini Potatoes! Crispy outside, soft inside and seasoned well, they're a great veggie side dish!

    If you enjoy potatoes and have access to an air fryer, you’re more than likely going to LOVE these little potatoes! We sure do! They are cooked in an air fryer, which is a kitchen appliance that uses super hot circulating air to cook food, using very little oil.

    The outside potato peel get all crispy and delicious, yet the inside stays fluffy and soft! These yummy little potatoes are so delicious, and the best part is they’re simple to make, and only take a few minutes to prep! Let me show you how to make this perfect side dish, which pairs well with poultry, fish, beef or pork!

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Prepping The Mini Potatoes For The Air Fryer

    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. for 3-4 minutes while you get the potatoes ready to cook. You can use small red or golden potatoes, but if you happen to have both kinds, USE them! Ours came already combined in a bag at our local grocery store.

    My favorite way to make this recipe is using both red and gold potatoes. Try to use small potatoes, roughly about the size of a plum for this recipe (and for quickest cooking time). Clean or scrub the outside of the potatoes to remove any dirt, then dry them thoroughly. Slice each potato in half, then place the halves in a mixing bowl.

    Red and gold mini potatoes are rinsed clean, then dried and cut in half before seasoning.

    Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, and then add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Toss the potatoes well, so they’re covered with the oil and the spices. That’s it… see how easy the prep work is? Now the mini potatoes are ready to cook!

    Olive oil and seasonings are added to the bowl of halved mini potatoes.The mini potatoes have been tossed with olive oil and seasonings and are ready to cook.

    Into The Air Fryer They Go!

    Place the seasoned potato halves into the basket of your air fryer, trying to keep them in a single layer, if possible. Cook them at 400°F for 10 minutes, then remove the basket and stir them or give the basket a good shake.

    Cook them for an additional 7-8 minutes, then check to see if they’re done. The outsides should be crispy and lightly browned. Stick a knife into a potato half. If done, the knife should easily glide into the softened insides of the potato. NOTE: If your potatoes are slightly larger in size, please be aware they may require 2-3 more minutes to finish cooking all the way through.

    Prepare Potatoes For Serving

    Once done, transfer the hot air fryer crispy mini potatoes to a serving bowl. Generously squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top of the potatoes and gently stir. Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with chopped fresh parsley, and serve the potatoes immediately.

    Use your air fryer to make an Air Fryer Whole Chicken in about 1 hour! The crispy, well-seasoned and browned chicken tastes delicious!

    Using an air fryer to cook an entire chicken is a great way to prepare a crispy, browned whole chicken. The process is extremely simple, and the cooked chicken is full of flavor! After the chicken is well-seasoned, the air fryer does the rest of the work for you!

    Air fryers use extremely hot air circulating around the food to cook it, and we really enjoy using ours! There is minimal hands-on, prep time necessary (about 10 minutes) to make a 4½ pound air fryer whole chicken. The rest of the time is simply letting the air fryer cook the chicken! When you use the homemade spice mixture as shown below, the cooked chicken also has great flavor! Here’s how to make this dish:

    Looking For A Good Spice Rub?

    Obviously, when making an air fryer whole chicken, feel free to use whatever spice mixture you enjoy, to season the chicken. However, I love to use this homemade spice mix and have included the ingredients in the printable recipe card below.

    The spices used are brown sugar, paprika, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, cayenne, cumin and dry mustard, and they add great flavor to the chicken! Mix these ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. The ingredients will yield about 1/2 cup of spice mix, but you’ll only need 4 Tablespoons to season one chicken, so save the rest for another time!

    Spices used to flavor the air fryer whole chicken are measured into a bowl.Seasoning mix is combined before adding it to olive oil to help season a whole chicken.

    Prepare The Chicken For Cooking

    Remove giblets from the cavity of the chicken (and discard). Rinse the chicken, and pat it dry, using paper towels to absorb moisture. I recommend using kitchen twine or raffia to tie the legs of the chicken together (see photo below). This helps the chicken cook more evenly! Tuck the wings snugly under the chicken for cooking, as well.

    Place 4 Tablespoons of the combined spice mixture and 1½ T. olive oil in a separate bowl. Mix together, then spread this spice rub over the entire chicken. Be sure to spread some of the spice rub into the chicken cavity, also. Now this big ol’ chicken is ready for the air fryer!

    Chicken legs are tied together, and chicken is covered with spice mixture before cooking.

    Into The Air Fryer It Goes!

    Preheat your air fryer to 360°F. This usually takes 4-5 minutes. Place the seasoned whole chicken into the fryer BREAST SIDE DOWN. NOTE: The photo below is only to show that an entire chicken can fit into the basket of an air fryer! Anyways… place it breast side down into the basket for cooking.

    Cook the chicken at 360°F. for about 45-50 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken over to the other side (breast side up), and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F. Once the internal temperature is 165°F., it is considered done and is safe to eat. To check the temperature, insert a meat thermometer into the thick part of the chicken between the thigh and the breast.  The finished chicken should also be beautifully browned and crispy on the outside. 

    TIP: Because the weight of each chicken used may vary a bit, keep an eye on it! Yours may take slightly less time or slightly more time to finish cooking. Check the temperature occasionally, to make sure it is not overcooked or undercooked.

    Time To Serve The Air Fryer Whole Chicken

    Transfer the whole chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This “resting time” allows the juices time to redistribute throughout the chicken. After the air fryer whole chicken has rested, slice away! A whole chicken can be cut into 8 pieces, with two pieces each of the breasts, legs, thighs, and wings.

    Instructions
    Prepare Chicken:

    1. Remove giblets from the cavity of the chicken. Rinse and pat the chicken dry using paper towels. Use kitchen twine or raffia to tie the legs of the chicken together. This helps the chicken cook evenly! Tuck the wings snugly under chicken for cooking.

    2. Mix spices together in a medium-sized bowl. NOTE: This will yield about ½ cup spice mix; you only need 4 T. spice mix for one chicken (so save the rest for another time). Place 4 Tablespoons of the combined homemade spice mixture and the olive oil into a separate bowl. Stir to combine, then rub entire chicken with the spice mix. Be sure to spread some spice mix inside the chicken cavity.

    Air Fry The Seasoned Chicken:

    1. Preheat air fryer to 360°F. (about 4-5 minutes). Place seasoned chicken into fryer basket BREAST SIDE DOWN. Cook chicken at 360°F. for about 45-50 minutes. Carefully turn chicken over (now breast side UP). Continue cooking 10 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Because weight of chickens used may vary, keep an eye on it! Check internal temp. occasionally, to make sure it isn't overcooked or undercooked.

    2. Transfer chicken to cutting board; let it rest 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows juices time to redistribute through the meat. Once chicken has rested, slice away, and serve!

    Recipe Notes

    NOTE: Estimated caloric calculation made using 8 pieces of chicken divided between total calories. Depending on the size piece consumed, calorie count may vary. The total amount of spices were used to calculate nutrients, however you will not use all the spice mix for one chicken.

    Make a batch of Air Fryer Cajun Spuds for a yummy side dish! No air fryer? These well-seasoned potatoes can also be roasted in the oven!

    Who likes potatoes, or as they are also called… taters or spuds? We do in our home, and today I want to share a simple side dish recipe for red potatoes with a wonderful seasoning! I call them Air Fryer Cajun Spuds! They are seasoned well, but aren’t too spicy, and I really think you will enjoy them.

    The recipe is simple to prepare, and enjoy making them using our air fryer. Guess what? Want to know a little secret?  You can also prepare these yummy potatoes in an OVEN! I realize a lot of people do not have access to an air fryer, so I have included instructions for roasting them in a traditional oven.

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At The Bottom Of The Page

    Make The Cajun Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, thyme, cayenne pepper, and salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine these ingredients. These are the spices you will use to season the red potatoes. Set the mix aside until ready to use.

    Seasoning mix for the potatoes are combined in a small bowl.

    Prepare The Potatoes (Spuds)

    Wash and dry the red potatoes very well to remove any dirt or little sprouts. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks, leaving the peel ON the potatoes. Once all are cut, place them in a medium mixing bowl.

    Six cleaned/scrubbed medium red potatoes are used for this recipe.The unpeeled red potatoes are cut into bite sized chunks before seasoning.

    Now it’s time to season the potatoes.  The first thing you need to do is drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. Toss or stir them well, so all the potatoes have some oil on them. Now sprinkle all of the spice mix over the potato chunks. Toss or stir the potatoes well, to distribute the spices and coat all the potatoes with seasoning.

    Potatoes are drizzled with olive oil, then Cajun spices are added to season.Air Fryer Cajun Spuds are now seasoned, and are ready for the air fryer or oven.

    Time To Cook The Air Fryer Cajun Spuds

    USING AN AIR FRYER? Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange the air fryer Cajun spuds in a single layer in the basket. Cook the potatoes for approximately 9 minutes. Toss or turn the other side, and continue cooking the potatoes for another 7-8 minutes on average.

    TIP: Two things can affect your cooking time. 1) Temperatures in air fryers can fluctuate with different models, and 2) The size of the potato chunks can vary between users, so this cooking time is a guide. Test the potatoes for doneness, by inserting a sharp knife into the middle of a potato chunk. When done, they should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside

    USING AN OVEN? Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place a sheet of parchment paper or aluminum foil onto a baking sheet. Add and arrange the potato chunks, keeping them in a single layer. Cook at 350°F. for approx. 25-30 minutes, turning them half way through the baking time. Test for doneness by inserting a knife into one of the chunks. When done, the Cajun spuds should be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    The potatoes are placed in an air fryer basket in a single layer.Halfway through cooking, the potatoes are turned, then finish cooking.

    Serve The Air Fryer Cajun Spuds

    Once the air fryer Cajun spuds are done cooking, remove them from the oven and transfer them into a serving bowl. They taste delicious eaten as is, straight from the oven. If you’re a dipping fan, you can serve them with ranch dressing, BBQ sauce or ketchup on the side!

    Delicious Air Fryer Buffalo Honey Wings are seasoned with a spice rub, cooked until crisp, and coated with a sweet, spicy sauce to serve.

    We love chicken wings, and have eaten lots of them since getting an air fryer a couple of years ago. The recipe I am sharing today is an absolutely delicious way to make sweet and spicy wings in an air fryer. I have also included instructions for baking these, in case you do not have access to an air fryer. Either cooking method will produce a scrumptiously addicting chicken wing that you are gonna love!

    Basically, you will whip up a quick spice rub, season the chicken, cook the chicken wings, then toss them in a simple buffalo honey sauce. It’s actually quite simple, whether you air fry the wings or bake the wings. Here’s how to make them:

    Scroll Down For A Printable Recipe Card At the Bottom Of The Page

    Prepare A Spice Mixture For Seasoning The Wings

    Making the spice rub for the air fryer buffalo honey wings could not be any more simple! Measure the ingredients into a medium bowl, and stir or whisk until the spices are fully combined. Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels, then place them in a large bowl or container.

    Sprinkle the chicken wings with the spice rub. Make sure to rub the spices into the chicken wings to coat them all sides. Use all of the spice mixture, if making a full recipe (3 pounds of wings)

    Spices are measured into a small bowl for the chicken wings.Chicken wings are covered with spices before cooking.

    Time To Cook The Air Fryer Buffalo Honey Wings

    There are so many air fryer machines today, which can vary quite a bit in cooking temps, so be sure to keep an eye on the wings as they cook, so they will not undercook OR overcook in YOUR machine! I use a Cosori air fryer, and often cook these wings in a couple batches. Here’s how I cook them in my air fryer.

    Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Once preheated, add the seasoned wings to the basket (I usually try to keep them in a single layer if possible). Cook the air fryer buffalo honey wings at 380°F for 12 minutes, then flip the wings to the other side and cook for another 12 minutes. I then turn the temperature up to 400°F and cook them for 3-4 more minutes, until cooked through and crispy on the outside.

    Make The Buffalo Honey Sauce While the Wings Cook

    Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and Frank’s Original Hot Sauce until blended. Add this to the melted butter in the saucepan, and stir to combine. Now add honey and molasses, and stir again, until ingredients are combined.

    Heat the buffalo honey sauce until it comes to a boil, making sure to stir (or whisk) it often. When it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and then simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, until it thickens slightly. Give it a taste. If you want it a bit sweeter, stir in more honey. If you want it spicier, add a bit more hot sauce.

    Cooking the ingredients for the buffalo honey sauce.Sauce is ready to add to the cooked chicken wings.

    Coat Wings With Sauce Then Serve

    Place the cooked wings in a large bowl, and pour the sauce over them. Toss the air fryer buffalo honey wings so they are fully coated with sauce. Once all the wings are cooked and coated with the sauce, they are ready to serve, while hot. Serve with bleu cheese or ranch dressing and carrot and celery sticks on the side, if desired. Enjoy!

    No Air Fryer? No Problem… BAKE Them!

    It will take longer to bake the wings, but here is how to do it. Cover a 9″x13″ baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray lightly with non-stick baking spray. Place the seasoned wings on the foil in a single layer. Bake in a preheated 400°F. oven for 45-50 minutes. Once done baking, turn the oven setting to BROIL. Place wings (on baking sheet) about 6-8 inches away from the broiler. 

    Broil the chicken wings until they reach the crispiness you want, then flip them over to the other side and broil again until crispy on outside. Keep a close eye on the wings so they don’t burn. THE BROILING TIME WILL ONLY BE A COUPLE MINUTES TOTAL. Once done, remove from oven, and toss with prepared buffalo honey sauce, and serve!

    Carrots and dip are served with the cooked buffalo honey chicken wings.

    Thanks for stopping by today. I really hope you get the opportunity to make these delicious chicken wings, and trust you will enjoy them. Please come back again soon for more yummy recipes. Have a GREAT day.
