Roasting Chicken
How to Truss a chicken:
How to prepare a Chicken:
1x Air Chill Chicken 3-4 lbs
Sprinkle rub all over chicken including the cavity.
Insert the following herbs (cut into small pieces) inside the chicken cavity. (Garlic, shallot, celery, lemon slice, carrot)
Truss the chicken and make sure it is tight. Let it marinade for an hour.
Spray chicken with oil (use PAM if you don’t have a spray can) on the skin and cover the top part of the chicken with a small sheet of tin foil to avoid burning.
Place chicken in an AirFryer bucket – breast side up, use roast or bake function. Set the AirFryer at 375F for 50 minutes.
Remove tin foil after 50 minutes and set extra baking time for another 15 minutes @ 350F. Note: Put tin foil back on if you see excessive browning. Juice should be clear when chicken is fully cooked. (Or when internal temperature – from the thigh has reached 165F)
Take chicken out from the tray and let it rest for another 20-25 minutes before carving. Save the juice from the dripping tray and the chicken internal liquid when you serve the chicken. It is priceless!
You can discard the herbs from the cavity or you can serve it with the chicken.
