Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken

Roasting a whole chicken in the air fryer is really simple. Plus, the chicken is absolute perfection. Roasted on the outside and juicy on the inside just like a rotisserie chicken.

My COSORI Air Fryer fits a 4.5Lb chicken nicely and a 5Lb chicken quite snug. Get the size chicken that fits best in your air fryer and adjust cooking time accordingly. You want the internal temp to reach 165ºF.

How To Roast Whole Chicken In Air Fryer

1. Thaw chicken completely, if frozen. Remove gizzard and organs from the raw chicken. Truss the legs*.
2. Rub entire chicken with oil, salt and seasoning. Transfer chicken, breast side down, to greased air fryer basket.
3. Air fry chicken at 360ºF for 45 minutes. Flip chicken then air fry for approximately 15-25 more minutes or until internal temp reaches 165ºF. (This usually takes between 55-70 minutes for a 5 Lb chicken)

*I use the no-twine trussing method. Here is a video that shows you how to truss a chicken the no-twine method → How To Truss Chicken Without String – Trussing is optional.
