Highly scalable for your daily protein goals and a guaranteed win with the kids. Cubing the chicken speeds up cooking time significantly.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Mix the Spice Blend
Combine the smoked paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
- 2Prep the Potatoes
Wash and cut the russet potatoes into wedges (6–8 per potato). Toss with half the olive oil and half the spice blend until well coated.
- 3Prep the Chicken
In a separate bowl, toss the cubed chicken with the remaining olive oil and spice blend until evenly coated.
- 4Load the Speedi
Drop the crisper plate into the bottom of your Ninja Speedi. Keep the pot dry — no liquid needed.
- 5Cook the Wedges
Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer on the crisper plate. Select Air Fry, set to 390°F, and set the timer for 20 minutes.
- 6Add the Chicken
After 10 minutes, open the lid and shake to flip the potatoes. Add the seasoned chicken cubes on top of and around the potatoes. Close the lid and finish the remaining 10 minutes.
- 7Check & Serve
Confirm the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F and the potatoes are fork-tender and golden. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.
Notes
For thicker wedges, add 3–5 minutes to the initial cook time before adding the chicken. Start checking on the chicken at 7 minutes rather than waiting the full 10.
