You can make a delicious and succulent roast chicken in an air fryer, in little over an hour. Here, the bird sits upside down for half of the cooking time so the breast is kept moist. The skin crisps up perfectly for a lovely golden finish, too.
Heat the air fryer to 180C and rub the butter all over the skin of the chicken. Season well with salt and pepper.Roast, breast side down, for 30 minutes. Then flip the right way up and roast for another 35 minutes. Check the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear when the thickest parts of the breast and thigh are pierced with a skewer or knife.
Leave the chicken to stand for a few minutes before carving. If you would like to make gravy, see the Recipe Tips.If you can’t fit a whole chicken in your air fryer, use halves or pieces instead. For halves, take a whole chicken and use strong scissors or a boning knife to cut down the spine. Then flip over and cut down the middle of the breast. You’ll be left with two halves to fit snugly inside your air fryer.
The juices from the roast chicken in the air fryer can be used to make a gravy. Add a little water to loosen any bits stuck to the base, then pour into a saucepan. Add a little flour and chicken stock or wine and whisk over a medium heat until thickened.
