This is a must have…must try…just a must! A whole rotisserie chicken done in just 1 hour! That’s shorter than waiting for one at the grocery store. Ya’ll, The skin comes out so crispy and perfect, while the inside remains moist and juicy. 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.

Wash and pat dry your chicken.

First, Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of chicken.
Then, Place chicken breast side down in air fryer.
Next, Air fry on 350° for 30 minutes.
After that, Flip and air fry for another 20 to 30 minutes. I will also start to check the oven more frequently at this point.
Finally, Temperature of chicken should be 165, with a probe thermometer in the thickest section, upon finishing.
Substitutions
- Chicken - instead of a whole chicken, sub chicken pieces
- Seasonings - use your favorite seasoning blends in the same quantities listed above
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
Equipment
An air fryer is recommended for this recipe, but you can certainly use your oven. Place chicken on a roasting rack to allow for air flow circulation, and use convection at 25 degrees lower, if possible.
Storage
Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
Top Rotisserie Tip
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.
