AIR FRYER ROAST CHICKEN

We love the air fryer for all sorts of items, but we love it best for cooking a whole chicken. The skin renders and gets perfectly crispy while the inside stays incredibly moist and flavorful.

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray, for the basket
1 small chicken (3 to 3 1/2 pounds)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh rosemary, thyme, sage or a combination
1 head garlic, cut in half to expose all the cloves
1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 370 degrees F and spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Rub the outside of the chicken with the olive oil.
  • Sprinkle the chicken inside and outside with 1 tablespoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Fill the cavity with the herbs, garlic and lemon. Put the chicken in the basket breast-side up, pushing it down so it does not touch the top of the fryer.
  • Roast the chicken until it is golden and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding bone, reads 165 degrees F, 50 to 60 minutes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 whole chicken, 3-4 pound (1.3 -1.8 grams)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Pat the chicken dry all over, including inside the cavity, with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  • Rub the butter all over the breast side of the chicken, including under the skin of the breasts. Sprinkle the spice mixture all over the breast side of the chicken and rub to coat well. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen twine.
  • Place the chicken, breast-side down, in the air fryer and "fry" for 30 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken breast-side up and continue cooking for 20 minutes more, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
  • Enjoy!
