  1. Add the zest and juice of the clementine to a small jug along with the chicken stock, garlic, and ginger. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

  5. Gently flip the chicken over and roast for another 20 minutes.
  6. After 20 minutes, turn the chicken back to face up for the final 20 minutes.
  7. Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and let it rest. Strain the pan juices into a bowl.
  8. Slice the potatoes in half and add olive oil, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
  9. Tip the potatoes into the air fryer basket and set it to ‘Air Fry’ at 190C/374F for 30 minutes.
  10. Activate the Sync Cook button to ensure both the roast chicken and potatoes finish at the same time.
