Rotisserie Style Whole Chicken Air Fryer Method
Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken

With this Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken recipe and method, you will enjoy a very juicy chicken with a flavorful crisp skin. Low carb and keto too!

Rotisserie Style Whole Chicken Air Fryer Method

Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken

So, I’m sure we have all had that delicious Rotisserie Chicken from Costco, right?

We spend hours going up and down every aisle. By the time we are finished shopping, we are exhausted. We have a big basket full of goodies.

The thought of coming home and putting away all those groceries (and other things that we probably did not need) and is overwhelming. The thought of then having to make dinner, makes things more overwhelming.

So, we run back to the back of the store and grab a Rotisserie Chicken, that we have been smelling since we first walked in to Costco.

With my Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer, an Air Fryer Oven or the Mealthy Crisplid, and this Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken recipe, you can easily make the same, delicious Rotisserie Style Chicken, any day of the week and have it ready in one hour.

Yep, one little hour, with minimal prep work.

Please feel free to join the chat at This Old Gal Cooking Group, where we share recipes, methods and fun.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken

  • Chicken
  • This Old Gal Seasoned Salt (House Seasoning)
  • Ghee

For this demonstration, I used a 5.9 pound chicken and I stuffed it, as I wanted to see the time difference between a stuffed Air Fryer Chicken v. a non stuffed Air Fryer Chicken.

While it is delicious, stuffed, you will need to allow for an extra 20 minutes and will want to cover the chicken with foil for the first 30 minutes, so that the skin won’t get too dark. For a chicken over 5 pounds, I suggest using an Extra Large Air Fryer.

Since my Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer was not available, I used my small air fryer  for this monster of a chicken. I had to shove it in, but it worked.

How to Make Stuffing for Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken

  • For the stuffing, I just mixed up some bread I had dried.
  • Added seasonings, some diced celery and onions and Homemade Pressure Cooker Chicken Stock.

If you are not making stuffing (and we usually don’t), just toss an cut onion into the cavity, if you like, although, it is really not necessary.

As the chicken is cooking, you could always make a batch of my Instant Pot Stuffing to have on the side.

I like to put my chicken into a mixing bowl, since the chicken is so slippery and can get away from me. Plus, it keeps the counter very neat.

Make sure to remove the giblet package that is inside of the chicken and then pat it dry with a paper towel.

Before I seasoned the chicken, I stuffed it, but I doubt I will do this again, as I prefer the taste of a non-stuffed chicken.

What Type of Oil to Use?

  • It is important to use a “high heat” oil, so that the chicken and skin does not burn.
  • Ghee is great for using with higher temperatures for longer cook times. My Instant Pot Ghee recipe is very easy to make and I always have a jar available.
  • Coconut oil is very good too, as it won’t burn at this temperature, with the chicken so close to the heating element.

Make sure to rub every inch of the chicken.

 

Season Chicken Well

Season Chicken Well

I love a very heavily seasoned chicken and I use my own Seasoned Salt recipe.

You can use whatever seasoning you like.

 

20160606_184231

Season the entire chicken very well.

A larger air fryer like the Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer or the Ultrean 8.5 Quart Air Fryer Toaster Oven is the way to go to make the best Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken.

The Mealthy Crisplid accessory can also be used after setting up your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker as an air fryer.

If using a smaller air fryer, just push down on the chicken to break the bone a little, so that it will fit.

After 30 minutes, flip the chicken over. Look how delicious the underside looks already. Your kitchen will smell wonderful!

Flip over the chicken and cook the chicken for another 30 minutes.

If using the Air Fryer Oven, use the rotisserie basket and the roast setting.

Make sure you test the internal temperature with a Digital Meat Thermometer. The temperature should be 165 degrees.

The chicken skin crackles and is so wonderful.

Serve the chicken with Creamy Mashed Potatoes or Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes and a green vegetable.
