Wondering how to air fry whole chicken? Air Fryer Whole Chicken is so easy and takes less time than oven roasted chicken.
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.
