  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to bake a whole chicken in an air fryer? Prepare the necessary ingredients. It is better to take a medium-sized chicken, weighing approximately 1.3-1.5 kilograms. Cooking chicken should begin by preparing the marinade. To do this, you need to take vegetable oil and add dried herbs to it: oregano, rosemary and basil.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Grind cumin (cumin) and three fragrant cloves in a mortar.

  3. STEP 3

    Add the crushed cumin and cloves to the oil. Add paprika and hot ground pepper.

    Add dried garlic and a pinch of suneli hops to the oil with the rest of the spices. Add salt to taste. Stir the marinade until smooth.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Wash the chicken well (including the inside). Remove the tail (tail) and excess fat. Rub the chicken thoroughly with the marinade, inside and out. For this you will need about three tablespoons. The rest of the marinade will be needed later during baking. Place the chicken in the refrigerator for at least two hours to marinate.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    After this time, remove the chicken from the refrigerator. Place thinly sliced ​​pieces of butter under the breast skin. This will keep the breast juicy while baking. Be careful not to damage the skin. The butter should not be too soft so that it does not have time to melt in your hands.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Place the chicken in the air fryer on its back on the lowest rack.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Before baking, I recommend making small cuts in the skin just above the shins on both sides.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    Secure the wings in the resulting pockets. This way they will be protected from burning. Bake the chicken at 150 degrees on medium air for 1 hour. Baste the chicken with the marinade several times during cooking. Then turn the bird over onto the breast and roast the back for 45 minutes at the same temperature. Also periodically baste the back with the remaining marinade.
