Directions
This easy weeknight whole chicken in air fryer recipe is delicious and family-friendly! So good, youll want to make it again and again! Out of all my air fryer recipes, this one has become a weekly staple. If you dont have an air fryer, you can bake this in the oven too, or try this Oven Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary.,,This Air Fryer Whole Roasted Chicken recipe was adapted from Samin Nosrats Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat (affil link). Its so good Ive been making it weekly on those nights I dont feel like cooking because its effortless. Her recipe, inspired by Southern fried chicken which is marinated overnight in buttermilk before frying, uses a whole chicken instead, no deep frying and no flour. She bakes hers in the oven, but the air fryer is so much much faster, and bonus no heating up the kitchen. The buttermilk and salt tenderizes the meat making the chicken so juicy chicken, with beautifully browned skin. Serve it alongside a simple summer tomato salad, chopped Feta salad or quick cabbage slaw.,For best results marinate the chicken 24 hours.,Youll need an air fryer with a large enough basket to hold the chicken. used the WW Vremi Air Fryer (affil link) which has a 5.8 quart basket.,If you dont have a large air fryer, you can make this recipe with on the bone chicken breast with skin. Reduce the cook time as needed.,Food comes out so much crispier than it does in my oven.,It takes only three minutes to preheat, it doesnt heat up the kitchen.,Its safer and healthier than deep frying and it doesnt smoke up the whole house.,The air fryer has now replaced my oven on most weekdays and nights, whether making hard boiled eggs, whipping up a side dish, heating up leftovers, or making dinner.
