Creating Air Fryer Chicken and Vegetables is straightforward. Follow these easy steps to achieve delicious results:
1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
3. Add Vegetables: Add your mixed vegetables to the bowl and toss again to coat with the spice mixture.
