Rotisserie Chicken Using Air Fryer Or Grill With Rotisserie Attachment Recipes

AIR FRYER ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Mix salt, paprika, onion powder, thyme, white pepper, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl.
• Rub 1/2 of the oil over chicken, then half of the spice mixture.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 30 minutes. Carefully remove chicken from the fryer.
• Flip chicken over. Oil the other side and sprinkle with remaining spice mixture. Return to the air fryer and continue to cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the fryer, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

EASY AIR FRYER ROTISSERIE ROASTED WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• I purchased my whole chicken ready with the contents of the cavity removed. If your chicken still has the giblets inside of it, you will need to remove them prior to cooking.
• Stuff 1/2 of fresh cut lemon and 1/4 of a chopped onion inside the cavity of the chicken along with the fresh rosemary and thyme.
• Make sure the chicken is completely dry on the outside. Pat dry with paper towels if necessary. A dry chicken will help it crisp in the air fryer with the olive oil.
• Spray olive oil onto both sides of the chicken using an oil sprayer.
• Sprinkle the seasonings throughout and onto both sides of the chicken. You may elect to only season the bottom side of the chicken at this step. Because you will need to flip the chicken during the air frying process, you will likely lose some of the seasonings at this stage. My preference is to season both sides initially, and then re-assess if more seasoning (usually salt is needed later).
• Line the air fryer with parchment paper. This makes for easy cleanup. Load the chicken into the air fryer basket with the breast side down.
• Air fry the chicken for 30 minutes on 330 degrees.
• Open the air fryer and flip the chicken. I gripped the chicken cavity with tongs to flip.
• Re-assess if more seasoning is needed on the breasts, legs, and wings. Add additional if necessary.
• Air fry for an additional 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
• This step is important. Place the meat thermometer in the thickest part of the chicken, which is typically the chicken thigh area. I like to test the breast too, just to ensure the entire chicken is fully cooked.
• Remove the chicken from the air fryer basket and place it on a plate to rest for at least 15 minutes before cutting into the chicken. This will allow the moisture to redistribute throughout the chicken before you cut into it.

AIR FRYER ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prepare your chicken by ensuring that the inner cavity is clean and giblets are removed. Place chicken on a clean cutting board.
• Combine seasoning ingredients (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, lemon zest) in a small bowl and set aside.
• Trim the tail from your chicken, if desired, as well as any excess fat. Stuff the lemon quarters into the body cavity, then coat the chicken with olive oil and rub the seasoning into the skin.
• Use kitchen twine to truss the chicken so that the legs and wings do not flap while rotating on the rotisserie function.
• Push the rotisserie spit through the chicken and secure with the rotisserie forks on each end. Line your drip tray with aluminum foil (for easier cleanup).
• Set the air fryer to 380 degrees F (193 degrees C) and select either 'air fry' or 'roast'. *I recommend the air fry option for crispier skin. Set the time for 40 minutes.
• When your air fryer is preheated and indicates to 'add food' load the left side of your rotisserie spit in the vortex plus first, pressing the red lever. Then slide the right side along the metal bar until it drops down into the catch and is securely in place.
• Close the door and cook for 40 minutes. Check the internal temperature of your chicken using a meat thermometer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes at a time, if needed, until the safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) is reached.
• Use the Vortex Plus y-rod to remove the chicken, pressing the red lever to release the rotisserie spit. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board or plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil for 5-10 minutes before serving.

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN (USING AIR FRYER OR GRILL WITH ROTISSERIE ATTACHMENT

Steps:

• The first thing you need to do is determine the weight of your chicken. If it's more than 3.5 pounds, you will want to detach the leg quarters (Thighs and Legs) and set those to the side. These will cook with the chicken but will lay on the bottom of the Instant Omni Plus 11 in 1 oven. If you are using a rotisserie spit on your outdoor grill, the weight should not matter. You can leave the chicken whole.
• To detach the leg quarters: Place your chicken as picture above so that it's on it's back and the wings and thighs are open towards the cutting board.
• With a sharp butcher knife, slice the skin of the left that is attached to the body of the chicken and press with some pressure until the leg quarter comes loose. Do this for both legs. See picture.
• Next, using your butcher twine, make sure your piece is long enough to go around the chicken at least twice. Place your string under the chicken wings and bring the string up and over the wings and pull tightly to hold the wings to the body.
• I then go back around a different part of the wings and tie again. Then I go lengthwise from top to bottom. If there is any way to tuck the tips of the wings into some of the twine, go ahead and do so. This is what mine looked like.
• On your spit, attach one of the forks on one end. Stab your chicken and push the spit through the chicken and then make sure your chicken securely attaches to the fork. Push all the way down to the end of the fork. Try to make sure your chicken is as close to the middle of the spit as this makes the rotation much easier for the rotisserie motor of your oven.
• Slide the other fork onto the rotisserie spit and down to your chicken, making sure to push the other fork all the securely into the chicken. Tighten the screw once your chicken is secure. If you need to adjust your chicken, just loosen the spit fork screws and move it to where you desire.
• In a small mixing bowl, put your garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, ground coriander, chili powder, paprika and mix together.
• In a small sauce pan or in the microwave, melt your butter
• Once melted, take your marinate brush and brush the chicken all over with the butter. (NOTE) you can also use olive oil if you feel it's a safe fat for your diet. :-)
• Once your chicken is coated, sprinkle your chicken on all parts, sides, etc. with the dry rub. Make sure to massage it all over the chicken and into it's nooks and crannies. You want to coat this as much as you can.
• In your Instant Omni Plus 11 in 1, line the entire bottom with aluminum foil. Make sure to cover the bottom heating elements and press the foil to the bottom of the middle part of the oven. This is where you will place your leg quarters on each side.
• Once coated, it's time to go into the oven or into the grill. Take your dry rubbed, rotisserie spitted chicken and place it into the air fryer/rotisserie oven or take to your outside grill. We want to cook this chicken on the rotisserie for 1 hour at 400F degrees.
• Take your leg quarters (if you had to detach them) and make sure that you butter and dry rub those as well. Place them on each side of the bottom of the oven. You want to make sure that your chicken will have room to rotate.
• Set your oven to "Roast" then make sure it's on "Rotate" and not "Convect." Your chicken should start turning slowly. It will do this for one hour. Your kitchen will start to smell heavenly in just about 10 minutes.
• After your chicken is done, take it out of the oven (or off the grill) and let it rest for 15 minutes. Go ahead and carve the chicken and put on a platter. You are ready to eat!! :-)

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Season the inside of the chicken with a pinch of salt. Place the chicken onto a rotisserie and set the grill on high. Cook for 10 minutes.
• During that time, quickly mix together the butter, 1 tablespoon of salt, paprika and pepper. Turn the grill down to medium and baste the chicken with the butter mixture. Close the lid and cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, basting occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (83 degrees C) when taken in the thigh with a meat thermometer.
• Remove from the rotisserie and let stand for 10 to 15 minutes before cutting into pieces and serving.
