Air Fried Crispy Baby Chicken – The Perfect all-in-one Dish

Chicken is for many a part of their daily diet. We love to give chicken a twist and, this time we are serving it with sweet potatoes and potatoes to make it a filling weeknight dinner. Add an easy tarragon sauce to add extra flavour.

This dish asks for a minimum of effort, because everything is prepared all-in-one in the airfryer!

    Ik wil weten hoelang een kip van 450 gr. In de airfraier moet, zonder poespas……

    1. Beste Marlies, de kooktijd hangt ook een beetje van de kwaliteit van de kip af. Na ongeveer een half uurtje zou de kip gaar moeten zijn als je dit recept volgt.

  2. Do the Potatoes Air fry if the Poussin is sitting on top of them
