This BBQ Chicken and Potatoes skillet bake is one of the easiest dishes I have made lately! It has just a few simple ingredients. And with the help of an air fryer, it can be done in about 30 minutes or less. It is nothing fancy or pretty to look at, but my kids and hubby gobbled it up! I posted it on my social media channels before I had a chance to get it posted here and in less than a day it had over 1 million views!
I wasn’t able to get a lot of good pictures because it was a late evening when I made it. If you make it though, I think you will agree that some recipes just don’t need picture proof! Hop on over to my TikTok and read the reviews to see for yourself what people are saying!

How to Make BBQ Chicken and Potatoes
The first thing you will do is chop up some potatoes into bite-sized pieces. I used yellow potatoes with the skin on, but any type of potato will work!
Put them in a mixing bowl, and toss with olive oil, a salt pepper and garlic blend and coat them well.

The potatoes should take anywhere from 20-25 minutes to cook. This will give you time to get the chicken prepped and cooked. Everything will be done and ready to throw together at the same time.
To cook the chicken, you will cut it into bite-sized chunks and season with your favorite BBQ Rub. Make sure it is well coated. Cook it in a skillet over medium heat in about 1 tbs of oil. It is cooked all the way through when the internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the crispy potatoes to the skillet. You’ll then toss in your favorite BBQ sauce and add some grated cheddar and cooked crumbled bacon on top. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes and dinner is ready!
This is a dish that is hearty enough to serve on its own, but some green veggies or a salad would pair nicely with it!
