If you’re a fan of crispy and juicy chicken strips with crispy potatoes, you’ll love this Chicken and Potato recipe. It’s perfect for a light dinner or a satisfying lunch. To make it, baby potatoes (also known as new potatoes) are skewered onto a stick, then cut and pulled apart to make a spiral. To make the chicken, chicken breast strips are dipped into a yogurt marinade, flour, and cornflakes. Both the potatoes and chicken strips are then fried until golden and cooked through. Serve the Chicken and Potatoes with your favorite dipping sauce, and it is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Chicken and Potatoes Ingredients
Potatoes – baby potatoes or new potatoes
Oil – use a neutral oil like canola oil or vegetable oil
Chicken – chicken breasts work best for this recipe
Egg – use a large, free-range egg
Yogurt – plain, full-fat yogurt
Herbs and Seasoning – rosemary, salt and pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika
Flour – all-purpose flour
Cornflakes – make the chicken strips extra crispy

Tips
You can use any of your favorite seasonings (taco seasoning, BBQ spice, fajita seasoning, Cajun spice, etc.); if using a blend that already contains salt, leave out any additional salt in the recipe.

Instead of cornflakes, you can also use Panko breadcrumbs. The chicken strips will still be very crispy!

Want a cheesy flavor in your chicken strips? Add a bit of parmesan cheese to the flour mixture.

Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the best results. If you want to make chicken nuggets instead, use chicken thigh fillets, cut into smaller pieces.

Cut the chicken strips into even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.

Don’t overcook the chicken strips, otherwise, they will be dry.

Make sure to use an oil suitable for frying at higher temperatures. These include canola, peanut, sunflower, corn oil, and more. If you want to reuse the oil, allow it to cool, and strain it. You can use it a few times more for fried chicken.

How to Store Chicken and Potatoes
Store leftover chicken and potatoes in an airtight container (in the fridge) for up to 4 days.

Can I Make Chicken and Potatoes in the Airfryer?
Yes, you can, although you might need to make it in batches if you have a small Airfryer.

To make the chicken, cook the strips at 200°C/400°F for 20 minutes, turning halfway.

To cook the skewered potatoes, cook the potatoes at 100°C/350°F for 15-20 minutes.
