I also love making Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken because it feeds the entire family, plus leftovers for lunch. You’ve definitely gotta give this one a try. I used Springer Mountain Farms Whole Chicken. It always cooks up moist and crispy. If you haven’t tried their chicken yet, that is even more of a reason to think about giving it a try. You must see the difference for yourself. Find the full recipe below.
For a delicious meal that's as old-fashioned as this recipe, pair this roated chicken with mashed potatoes and veggies, and enjoy a sweet treat like these banana chocolate chip gluten free muffins for dessert!

Step 3. Next, Air fry on 350° F for 30 minutes. Then, flip and air fry for another 20 to 30 minutes. Finally, the temperature of the chicken should be 165° F, with a probe thermometer in the thickest section, upon finishing.
Expert Tips
Always remove cooked meat from the bone prior to storing to avoid a "gamey" flavor. For example, leftover chicken is perfect for making chicken salad, or adding to your favorite wrap. You can also use leftovers for soup. Occasionally, I will give a bit of leftover protein to my furry family members, however, be careful as this could lead to dangers for some animals.
Air Fryer Variations
- Spicy - add chili pepper flakes or chili oil to seasonings
- Thai Curry - omit seasonings and rub chicken with 3 TBS thai curry paste and serve with coconut rice
- Mediterranean - omit seasonings and rub chicken with 3 TBS each of tahini and Za'atar seasoning
Storage
Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.

It's so hard finding good chicken these days. Pasture raised, organic is always my go-to as the chickens get to live outside in open air. I'm glad you found an honest brand. This recipe looks delicious!
