I'm making this recipe for a 2nd time today. 1st time was literally the best whole chicken we've made for our family of 5 before. The sheer simplicity of this recipe when compared to the intensity of flavor is truly remarkable. Thank you Coit for this recipe video that will be a new staple for our household moving forward. Bravo!
We ended up using a 4-5 lb. chicken. I've made it a few more times since then and I've found that the closer to 5 lbs. you get you may need to cook for a little longer. For example the chicken which was between 4 & 4.25 lbs. took roughly the 1 hour (30 minutes per side) that is mentioned in the video and the online recipe. The chickens that were between 4.75 & 5 lbs. however, took around an extra 15 minutes to cook through completely in our air fryer. @@annn8389
@@annn8389 little be to late 😂 1 year after.... for 2 adults 3 small children 1 chicken will probably do the trick. But to be safe do 2 chickens that way you could have leftovers. 1 hour for each chicken then you could just put it to reheat in the microwave or oven.
I mean I am in shock!! I have never made a more beautiful chicken than I did today, and how friggen EASY!! I’m sending this video to my mom!! I bought her an air fryer and she has yet to use it as she is intimidated by it!! Now she is a great cook and may not need the air fryer, but she’s 89!!! I wanted to make her life easier!! I on the other hand am not a great cook. Still learning a lot!! Thank you soo much Coit!
I made this yesterday. Followed the recipe exactly. This is my second air fryer chicken. Both were good but this one was super simple and was delicious and moist.
I stuffed the cavity with an onion. I made extra rub and reserved some of it to baste the chicken at the beginning point of cooking and also when I flipped it over. I also added some rosemary and poultry seasoning to the rub. We don’t eat the skin so I carefully applied the rub underneath the skin as much as possible. This was our first whole chicken done in the air fryer - absolutely outstanding!!
Thank you for fantastic recipe. I made more marinade, pour it over and also inside the chicken, let its stand for half-hour and bake it. It turned out delicious. My family was very impressed. Thank you.
I'm cooking a whole chicken in the air fryer now, but I cut it in half because I'm sending the other half to my daughter and her husband and my granddaughter. Just my 15-year-old son and I are eating it. I will let you know how mine turns out. I'm so impressed with how your chicken turned out! A yogurt marinade and honey mustard spice were used to marinate my chicken. I'm hoping mine turns out as good as yours, but if it doesn't, I'll just blame it on the air fryer! It's my first time watching your channel! I've subscribed!
I tried this method of cooking a chicken for Thanksgiving this year. I cooked one chicken in the slow cooker and one using this recipe. I will never, ever cook chicken any other way than this way!!! It came out PERFECT ! Thank you so much for this video!!!
I watched your video this afternoon and then cooked my chook in the air fryer. It was SUPERB! No more chooks in the oven. Thank you so much! It was so moist with crunchy skin.
I am definitely going to do a whole chicken in the air-fryer! This looks amazing - so crispy. Also learned about placing the breast down to get juices from darker meat and for skin to be golden crispy. YUMMY!
That is one DEEE-LICIOUS lookin chicken!! And, I really do appreciate how you give us your measurements. Always simple and to the point. I'm binge watching your air fryer vids today and am LOVING IT!! You share some EASY, FAST & FABULOUS recipes. Thanks loads for sharing with us. Arlene
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing. I was buying rotisserie chickens almost weekly. This is saving me so much money. Thanks again. My chicken came out perfectly. 😊😊
Extremely flavorful and extra crispy skin. Great idea starting it with the breast down so the juices run to the breast before flipping it to get the extra crispy skin. It was so juicy and so delicious, my new favorite way to prepare whole chicken.
I bought a Cosori 5.8 explicitly to airfry a whole chicken for my family. I'm making it now. At the halfway point, I opened it, and I couldn't believe how crispy the skin was. I can't wait to get my family's reaction to this.
Thank you for showing how to properly flip a partially cooked chicken. Every recipe recommends this method, but no one demonstrates. Thanks again. I’ll let you know how it goes, just popped the chicken into the air fryer. 😊
I have a Cosori Air Fryer and I LOVE it! I made this chicken today (2.5 lb) and I substituted ancho chili pepper (it is not spicy) for the paprika. It turned out absolutely delicious...the skin was crispy and so tasty! We destroyed that chicken. I have to make this again! 👍👍👍 PS: I don't understand the negative comments from those who did not like the outcome...it was so easy. AND, you do know what you are doing...thanks for the great recipe.
Hi Coit, my air fryer has a few option asides from air frying. May I ask if you used the air frying option or roasting option for the chicken? Thank you. You've just earned another subscriber
Followed your recipe exactly as described by you in my Philips XL airfryer the result was the best chicken I have ever eaten! So simple and at the same time so delicious
That chicken looks great. IMHO, I would have seasoned the end side too. I love my air fryer. I have a newer version with a rotisserie built-in. I can get about a 3.5 lbs bird max on my rotisserie.
I made this and did what a commenter suggested by rubbing the mixture then letting it sit out for at least a half hour. I made it again today. You can definitely trust this recipe. It's simple and pretty much foolproof. And most importantly it's really good!
Hey, Chief. I tried doing an air fryer whole Chicken, I didn't have enough for the dry rub so I used a Teriyaki marinade and brushed both sides twice, once before and once during it. Next time I know, brush it only once but it was still juicy and still good. And the four pound chicken only cost me like 8 bucks
I was a bit reluctant to use an air fryer for anything other than sausage and chips. This video gave the confidence to try something more daring. I did and it was the best thing ever. Now I feel confident enough to experiment more cooking with an air fryer. Thank you 🙏🏻
I have the newer Cosori dual blaze. It has the heat on top of course, but also has heat from the bottom. I'm wondering how this recipe would need to be changed, time wize. It looks amazing and I really want to try it.
Here''s the thing, won a whole chicken in a raffle didn't know how to cut it up when cooked...... didn't know how to cook it properly either. Found out the first part after watching many video's then after doing the same wanting to cook it well ( to show off my culinary skills to the girlfriend ) I chanced upon your page, lucky me!!! Your instructions on how to go about this task were concise easy to understand and I did follow exactly, and may I say had lotsa fun doing so. The result like yours was absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, I did subscribe never done that before ever, i wish you and yours the very best oh, by the way the girlfriend was very impressed (me in the good books) cheerz.
Wet brine the chicken for 24 hr in salt, sugar and apple cider vinegar. Rinse, Pat dry then proceed with this cooking method. Will up this game big time😊
OMG! I just made this! soooooo delicious!!! I'm never buying another pre-cooked chicken again! And it was a free range chicken too, so it was optimistic when they killed it! I think you can actually taste the happiness
I’m so happy I’ve found you 🙏🙏🙏. I cooked my first Roast Pork in the fryer on the weekend and OMG… Crackle was perfect and the meat so juicy. Tonight I’m trying your chicken. Wish me luck 🤞. Even if it doesn’t turn out as good as yours…. I’m happy just to watch you cooking 🔥 🤣
I just need to convert pounds to Kilos, Fahrenheit to Degrees as I’m watching from down under. Can I suggest you might add the conversion to your videos? 🙌
Pro-tip. Blend your spice blend into a small amount of avocado mayo before rubbing into every nook and cranny of the the chicken. Don't worry, it doesn't affect the flavor because it's just emulsified avocado oil. This will ensure that the skin is crispy and also ensures that the spices stick to the bird all over, which is not the case with just oil and dry spice.
Just use those blue disposable gloves they sell at Target. I use them for any heavy “food touching” recipes. Like meatballs, cookie dough, sometimes even when I have to touch raw onions I agree, breast side down, then flip. My air fryer has a rotisserie spit feature, so I would use that method
Just came across your channel. Looking forward to trying some of your airfryer recipes. I just upgraded my Cosori airfryer to the Blaze. Do you think you will be trying this new version?
I would of never thought of turning chicken over!! Thank you for that awesome tip. Do you think this could be done with the air fryer in the Ninja Foodi?

My go to roast chicken recipe in my air fryer. I've made with this recipe a few times. They all turned out perfect and juicy. Will roast another chicken shortly. :)
This looks super yummy, trying it right now! One note though, it is suggested to use cooking oil with a lower smoke point like avocado oil whenever cooking with an airfryer ;)
My son & his wife got me an air fryer for Ch last year & I've been wanting to try cooking a whole chicken in it ever since, but I have heard warning that the fat can catch fire & so I'm afraid to try it. Is it or is it not safe ?
Thanks man, this is great for a single dad. Love videos made by real people with actual verbal explanations ❤
I made this today. Honestly, this was the juiciest chicken I ever made. And the easiest.
I love it
The best part is the massage with music that makes the chicken happy 😊

I love how genuine you are in your videos. That is so me forgetting a step! Keep on being you!
I have tried your potato wedges it came out super tasty and crispy in my Air fryer...definitely I am going to try the whole chicken 😋

This worked out so well. Followed your recipe to the T and had the best roasted chicken ive had in years! Thank you
Just tried this and loved it. Thankyou
I brined my chicken, does that change the rub recipe?
Does that change the cook time?
Can you butter instead of oil?
Trying this tomorrow for sunday dinner. I have been cooking them in the instant pot then broiling in oven, this much simpler
Excellent your recipes and cooking makes a huge difference
Is it preferable for the air fryer to be preheated?
I'll try this method over the weekend. Thanks Chef
wow thank you and nice, can you tell me what is your model of the air fryer please
Hi - I have the Cossori dual blaze 5.8 qt
@@cookingwithcoit Thank you, it looks massive to take a whole chicken.
looks great. just curious what size cosori was used? was that a 5.8qt sized model?
We did this tonight using your directions and it was the best chicken we ever ate!
Do you preheat the air fryer?
What size is your fryer? You didn't mention that? . cuz I want to cook my 4 lb chicken in a 6 Qt air fryer,? Hope it works?
Ty, for saving time on my hand, placing the chicken in the oven!!! This is my go-to from now on😊😊😊
Will the cooking time be different if your range has an air fryer option
You are great very impressed! I give gratitude to this chicken who gave its life. So easy! ❤❤❤❤❤ Great recipe ty!!!!
I love how real this is, I always forget steps, I can relate!! Making this tonight!
Just cooked this 30 minutes ago. Very successful so I can highly recommend this.

Brining is the best! Makes for such a juicy chicken. Great tip
@@cookingwithcoit he
What is the ratio for the salt sugar and apple cider vinegar
1 cup of each per gallon
Trying it right now
should i dry it before seasoning
Done it today..very nice 👍🏻👍🏻
What 's the spray you used ? Thanks.
Hi- I used Olive Oil spray.
@@cookingwithcoit hi , thanks a lot , you 're amazing ! 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
I’m making this right now! I’ll let you know how it goes.
I made my chicken this way and I will never make any other way it was delicious ❤❤❤❤❤❤
How long would you cook potatoes with the chicken?
my 2-time making this chicken I love it so delicious. Making tonight again thank you Coit
Just got me Air fryer and i been watching your videos made most of your recipes came out nice...you good very good ...thnx...
Congrats on your new air fryer!
Thank you so much for all your fantastic recipes, I’m definitely going to try this 😊
So glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Very helpful and simple.thank you
What did you do with the drippings?😉
Is it a marinate if there no acid in it (ie: vinegar, wine, etc.)? If not, would the technical term be 'liquid rub.'
Hi great demo! I've only got max 200c how long would you recommend to cook it for? Thanks.
Thanks! 200 c is 392 F so that’s higher than the temp I’m suggesting- 350 F. Set your air fryer to 350 F (176 c or 180 if you need to round up)
@@cookingwithcoit Cheers!
I did mine at 180. It came out perfect
Just got my air fryer. Question, do you pre heat fryer first or just add meat and cook?
It looks to me like he did not preheat the air fryer
when I cook my turkey in my oven I always cook breast side down the turkey come out great every time
What size litre air fryer do you need for a medium chicken?
OMG! I just made this! soooooo delicious!!! I'm never buying another pre-cooked chicken again! And it was a free range chicken too, so it was optimistic when they killed it! I think you can actually taste the happiness

Thank you so much!!
Just came across your channel. Looking forward to trying some of your airfryer recipes. I just upgraded my Cosori airfryer to the Blaze. Do you think you will be trying this new version?
I haven't tried the Blaze yet. Do you like it?
What would be best for a 7 lb. chicken?
No season in the cavity or under skin?
Only way to do it, before dry brine.
I would of never thought of turning chicken over!! Thank you for that awesome tip. Do you think this could be done with the air fryer in the Ninja Foodi?
I tried your salad, and wings . They were so good. I like the simpe and quick way to demonstrate. And some tips ( like in it using gravity) to make more juicy.
What should I do with the insides of the chicken like the heart?
How many Watts of power does the air-frier use compared to an oven, at 350 degrees?
What size Air Fryer to roast a whole chicken?
My go to roast chicken recipe in my air fryer. I've made with this recipe a few times. They all turned out perfect and juicy. Will roast another chicken shortly. :)
What size capacity is your air fryer please.
This looks super yummy, trying it right now!
One note though, it is suggested to use cooking oil with a lower smoke point like avocado oil whenever cooking with an airfryer ;)
Great tip thanks!
Yes I heard that. I haven't got any avocado oil yet so I used half vegetable oil and half garlic olive oil
