❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken

1. Can I make this recipe without a rotisserie function in my air fryer?

Yes, you can. Place the chicken breast side down in the air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes. Then flip it over and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

2. How do I get the skin extra crispy?

Make sure the chicken is very dry before seasoning. Pat it down with paper towels and let it sit uncovered in the fridge for an hour if you have time. Also, do not overcrowd the air fryer basket.

3. Can I use frozen chicken?

It is best to use thawed chicken for even cooking. If you use frozen chicken, it will take much longer to cook and may not get that crispy skin.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat it in the air fryer at 350 degrees F for a few minutes to crisp up the skin again.

5. What can I serve with this chicken?

This chicken goes great with roasted vegetables, a simple salad, or mashed potatoes. The juices from the chicken are also perfect for making a quick gravy.
