Observations
How do I store Air Fryer-roasted chicken?
Once cooled, place leftover chicken in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. Be sure not to leave chicken at room temperature for more than 2 hours after cooking.
Can I freeze roast chicken?
Yes, roast chicken freezes well. Cut into pieces and place in a freezer bag or airtight container. It will keep for up to 3 months.
How do I get a crispy skin?
Olive oil also helps to crisp up the skin. For optimum crispness, don't hesitate to increase the temperature slightly in the last few minutes of cooking.
Can I add vegetables around the chicken?
Yes, you can add chopped vegetables such as potatoes, carrots or zucchinis. Add them towards the end of the chicken's cooking time to avoid overcooking.
How do I know if the chicken is cooked?
Use a cooking thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, without touching the bone. The temperature should reach 165°F/75°C. You can also prick the chicken to check for clear juices.
What other seasonings can I add?
For variety, you can add fresh rosemary, thyme, lemon or honey. Lemon cut in half and placed inside the chicken adds a subtle flavor and helps retain moisture.
