Air Fryers Revolutionize Whole Chicken Roasting: Faster, Healthier, Less Mess
Air fryers have revolutionised cooking, making it healthier and faster. A whole chicken can now be roasted in just 45 minutes, with minimal effort and cleanup. This method reduces cooking time by about 20% and results in incredibly crispy skin.
Air fryers, such as the COSORI Turbo Blaze or larger models with around 9 to 11 litres capacity, can accommodate a 1.5 to 1.8 kg chicken. They cook it at 360°F for about 45 minutes, flipping it after 25 minutes. Even basic models like the $120 Instant air fryer or the $80 Gourmia can handle this task. The meat is done when it reaches 160°F internally.
Preparation is minimal, requiring only a quick marinade and simple ingredients. The rinsable basket of the air fryer ensures easy cleanup. Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent burning the skin.
Air fryers offer a convenient and healthy way to enjoy a whole roasted chicken as a weeknight dinner. With reduced cooking time, minimal prep, and easy cleanup, it's a perfect cooking solution for busy individuals.
