  3. Air fry potatoes 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp

  6. Spoon halal-friendly BBQ sauce over chicken and potatoes
  7. Finish under broiler 2-3 minutes or transfer to oven at 450°F (230°C) for 5 minutes until glistening

Notes

Validate BBQ sauce is alcohol-free and halal-certified
Use air fryer-compatible skillet if cooking chicken in it
For keto version: substitute cauliflower florets for potatoes
Chicken can be grilled or pan-finished if preferred
