Description
This Cajun-inspired roast chicken is so easy to make in your air-fryer. It's guaranteed to enjoy a zesty, slightly spicy, crunchy crust and perfectly juicy meat.
Instruction tip
Cooking tip:Cooking chicken in an air fryer makes the skin crispy and the meat tender and juicy. Cooking breast-side down first means the breast meat won’t dry out.
Method
Step 1 of 3
In a small bowl, combine seasoning, oregano and oil. Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Tuck wings under chicken. Rub paste all over chicken and inside chicken cavity. Place 1 lemon inside cavity. Tie legs together with unwaxed kitchen string. Chill overnight, if time permits.
Step 2 of 3
Line air-fryer basket with foil, then baking paper. Place chicken, breast-side down, inside prepared air-fryer basket. Cook at 180°C for 40 minutes or until chicken is golden and almost cooked through.
Step 3 of 3
Turn chicken over. Cook for a further 10 minutes or until juice runs clear when chicken is pierced with a skewer in the thickest part. Transfer chicken to a serving plate. Loosely cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes. Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Serve chicken with lemon and sprinkled with onion.
