Cooking a whole chicken in an air fryer can result in a crispy and delicious meal. Here’s a general guide for making a whole chicken in a Cosori air fryer. The specific steps may vary depending on the size of your chicken and the model of your air fryer.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (approximately 3-4 pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or a poultry seasoning blend)
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your Cosori air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
- Rinse the chicken thoroughly and pat it dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil or melted butter with the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried herbs to create a seasoning paste.
- Rub the seasoning paste all over the surface of the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
- Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket, breast side down, and set the timer for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, flip the chicken over, breast side up, and continue cooking for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken (usually the thigh) reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Check the chicken periodically during the cooking process to ensure it is browning evenly. If necessary, adjust the temperature or cooking time accordingly.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
Feel free to adjust the seasonings and cooking time based on your personal preferences and the specific features of your Cosori air fryer. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful air-fried whole chicken!
