Easy Air Fryer Rotisserie Roasted Whole Chicken Food

AIR FRYER CRISPY-SKIN WHOLE CHICKEN WITH HERBS AND LEMON PEPPER

Steps:

• Rinse and thoroughly pat the chicken dry. Set aside.
• In small bowl combine salt, pepper, lemon pepper, paprika, dried herbs.
• Rub oil over the chicken. Rub herb mixture all over chicken. Spray the air fryer basket or rack with cooking spray.
• Lay chicken breast side down in the basket or rack.
• Air Fry at 360°F for 45-50 minutes, then carefully flip the chicken to breast side up. Cook for additional 10-15 minutes or until internal breast meat temperature is 165°F. Let rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve.

AIR FRYER ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Mix salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
• Rub 1/2 of the oil over chicken, then half of the spice mixture.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 30 minutes. Carefully remove chicken from the fryer.
• Flip chicken over. Oil the other side and sprinkle with remaining spice mixture. Return to the air fryer and continue to cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the fryer, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

EASY AIR FRYER ROTISSERIE ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• I purchased my whole chicken ready with the contents of the cavity removed. If your chicken still has the giblets inside of it, you will need to remove them prior to cooking.
• Stuff 1/2 of fresh cut lemon and 1/4 of a chopped onion inside the cavity of the chicken along with the fresh rosemary and thyme.
• Make sure the chicken is completely dry on the outside. Pat dry with paper towels if necessary. A dry chicken will help it crisp in the air fryer with the olive oil.
• Spray olive oil onto both sides of the chicken using an oil sprayer.
• Sprinkle the seasonings throughout and onto both sides of the chicken. You may elect to only season the bottom side of the chicken at this step. Because you will need to flip the chicken during the air frying process, you will likely lose some of the seasonings at this stage. My preference is to season both sides initially, and then re-assess if more seasoning (usually salt is needed later).
• Line the air fryer with parchment paper. This makes for easy cleanup. Load the chicken into the air fryer basket with the breast side down.
• Air fry the chicken for 30 minutes on 330 degrees.
• Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. I gripped the chicken cavity with tongs to flip.
• Re-assess if more seasoning is needed on the breasts, legs, and wings. Add additional if necessary.
• Air fry for an additional 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
• This step is important. Place the meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken, which is typically the chicken thigh area. I like to test the breast too, just to ensure the entire chicken is fully cooked.
• Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and place it on a plate to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into the chicken. This will allow the moisture to redistribute throughout the chicken before you cut into it.
