A couple of days ago a tasty-looking chicken caught my eye in Intermarché. Just under 1 1/2kg for 7,60€ so I bought it. It’s been in my fridge since then and I was thinking this morning that I’d better either think about cooking it or put it in my freezer for later. I decided on the former and I came up with the brainwave of popping it into my air fryer to see how it would come out.
My air fryer has a capacity of 5 litres and it just fitted in nicely, so I then gave it a good spray with virgin olive oil, a dousing with salt and ‘Herbes de Provence’ and set it going for 60 minutes at 190 degrees C while I was doing other things. I thought it would need about 1 1/2 hours but could adjust the time if necessary as it went along when I went back in from time to time to spray the bird with more olive oil.
And it went just great! Here’s the result after the 1 1/2 hours and after I’d given it a slathering of butter for the last 15 minutes or so.
It’s absolutely delicious! It’s perfectly cooked and the flesh is just falling off the bones and because it sat on a rack in the air fryer the grease has separated and fallen into the bottom of the pan leaving the meat perfectly moist. I couldn’t resist a leg and a wing while it was cooling and have just had a few slices in a portion of freshly baked baguette for my lunch. What a treat! I can’t recommend my air fryer enough 🙂
