Ingredients

  • olive or vegetable oil
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup BBQ sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 scallion minced
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken 8-ounce chicken breast
  • 2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
  • Pineapple and Mango Salsa:
  • ¼ red onion finely diced
  • 1 ripe mango finely diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple finely diced
  • 1 Jalapeño pepper seeded and minced
  • ½ red bell pepper diced
  • juice of 2 limes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF.
  2. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Brush both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket cut side down and air-fry at 400°F for 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes over and air-fry for an additional 10 minutes.
  3. Scoop the flesh out of the potato skins (save this for another use, like hashbrowns), leaving about ½-inch of potato inside. Brush the inside of the potato skins with oil and season again with salt and pepper. Air-fry at 400°F, skin side up, for 8 minutes.
  4. While the potatoes are air-frying, make the filling. Whisk the BBQ sauce, honey, and scallion together in a medium bowl. Add the shredded chicken and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. To make the salsa, place the diced red onion in a bowl of cold water and let it soak for at least 5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Combine the mango, pineapple, Jalapeño pepper, red pepper and red onion in a bowl. Add the lime juice, salt and cilantro leaves and toss well. Let the salsa sit for at least 5 minutes or chill until you are ready to serve.
  6. When potato skins have finished air-frying, fill each skin with a quarter of the chicken mixture. Air-fry the filled skins at 350°F for 4 minutes. Top with the Monterey Jack cheese and air-fry for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  7. Top the potato skins with the mango salsa and serve.
