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.
