Whole chicken from the aerofryer with lime

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

A grilled chicken, nice and juicy on the inside, a crispy crackling crust on the outside and that smell! There is almost nothing better than walking into a kitchen and smelling this smell. A well-seasoned chicken and then chew off the bones with your fingers. Doesn't that sound like a feast? And the great thing is: you have almost no work to do. I received an aerofryer as a gift and then of course you start experimenting. I bought a chicken, made a recipe with a delicious marinade, left it alone overnight and then conjured up a whole chicken from the aerofryer (airfryer)! And that was highly recommended.

An aerofryer is actually a kind of convection oven in miniature. You can prepare all kinds of dishes in it without adding oil or fat. The device blows hot air around the food, making it quickly cooked and crispy. Ideal for fries, snacks, vegetables, meat and fish. But also for a whole chicken!

How do you make a whole chicken out of the aerofryer?

It's really very simple. You only need a chicken that fits in your aerofryer basket, some herbs to taste and possibly some lemon, garlic and rosemary for extra taste. You rub the chicken with the herbs and preferably let it marinate overnight in the fridge. Then you put it in the aerofryer and let it cook for about an hour at 180 degrees. Turn occasionally so that it browns evenly. And your chicken is ready!

You can serve the chicken in this chicken recipe with all kinds of side dishes of your choice. Think of potatoes, fries, rice, couscous, salad, vegetables, sauces, bread… You can make it as crazy as you want. I like to add some roasted vegetables in the oven or in the aerofryer itself. For example, carrot, bell pepper, zucchini, onion and cherry tomatoes. I sprinkle them with some olive oil, salt, pepper and Italian herbs and roast them for about 20 minutes.

Do you have any other great ideas for recipes with the aerofryer? Then share them with me! I am always looking for new inspiration.

If you have some chicken left over from this whole chicken from the airfryer recipe, you can store it in the fridge or freeze it for later. For example, you can use it to make a tasty salad, or a wrap, or a soup, or an oven dish... The possibilities are endless!

Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

And this is how you make it:

• So we start preparing chicken in airfryer a day before you want to eat the chicken. Take a bowl and add all the ingredients for the marinade in it. Mix with a whisk and then coat the chicken all over. If there is any left over, scoop it into the cavity of the chicken. Place the chicken in a bowl covered with cling film and refrigerate. The next day, take the chicken out of the fridge in time to allow it to come to room temperature.

Baking the chicken

• You do not need to preheat the aerofryer. Place the chicken breast side down in the fry basket and return it to the appliance. Set the temperature to 180 degrees and bake the chicken for 30 minutes
• When the 30 minutes are over, remove the frying basket from the device and turn the chicken over. The top may appear a little bit black, this is the brown sugar on the chicken. Then put it back and bake the other side at 180 degrees for another 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the airfryer and place it on a plate or board and let it rest for 10 minutes covered with aluminum foil. The juices do not run completely out of the chicken at the same time and therefore remain nice and juicy.
