Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken
Cooking a whole chicken using the rotisserie in an air fryer oven produces a juicy and flavoursome inside and deliciously crisp chicken on the outside.
Servings: 1 Whole Chicken
Calories: 317kcal
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken 1.5kg to 2kg
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Optional: Additional herbs and spices e.g., garlic granules, paprika, rosemary, thyme
- You will also need some kitchen string to tie up the legs and wings.
Instructions
- Use kitchen/butchers string to tie the chicken legs together and secure the wings to the body.
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional herbs and spices you fancy. Then, rub the mixture all over the chicken.
- Carefully mount the chicken onto the rotisserie spit, securing it with the rotisserie forks.
- Place the rotisserie spit with the chicken into the air fryer oven, ensuring it’s properly balanced and secured. Remember to place the drip tray at the bottom to collect the drippings as the chicken cooks.
- The cooking time will depend on the weight of your chicken. As a general guideline, cook for 40 minutes for a 1.5kg chicken, adding an extra 5 minutes for every additional 500g. So, a 2kg chicken would cook for 45 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach at least 75°C in the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the air fryer oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
