Equipment

  • Air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chicken approx. 1200 g.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning

Instructions
 

  • The chicken is prepared. Remove the rump and cut off the outer wing joints and discard them. Clean the inside of the chicken, and pat it dry with paper towels.
    1 chicken
  • Then coat the chicken in a thin layer of oil and then sprinkle with barbecue seasoning.
    - We sometimes choose to fill the chicken with, for example, lemons, oranges, apples, herbs, or other things that give a good taste. You can easily do this in the air fryer, but the cooking time will be slightly longer than stated in the recipe here.
    1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning
  • Place the chicken on the rack in the drawer of your air fryer, breast side down, and then give it 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celcius.
  • When the time is up, turn the chicken breast side up, and cook it for approx. 20 minutes again, or until the core temperature is 75 degrees Celcius.
    - Be aware that the cooking time may vary depending on the brand of your air fryer.
  • When the core temperature of 75 degrees Celcius is reached, the chicken is taken out, after which it rests for 5 minutes, and then it is ready to serve.
  • Attention:
    This recipe is made for a Cosori Dual Blaze Airfryer. If you use a different type of airfryer or Actifry, the cooking time may need to be adjusted. Keep a close eye the first time you try a new recipe in your air fryer, as the machines can heat very differently.
