Notes
I love the Ninja Dual Zone Air Fryer because I was able to cook the chicken and sweet potatoes at the same time with the separate baskets. This is one of my most used items in my kitchen, it is so convenient!
Trader Joe's Citrusy Garlic seasoning is an amazing addition to so many dishes including this one!
