Air Fryer Whole Roast Chicken

Ingredients

Chicken

• 1 whole chicken (1100 to 1300 g), cleaned and soaked in vinegar, lemon and oil
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tbsp ground coriander
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• 1 tsp cardamom
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cloves and nutmeg
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tbsp turmeric

• 4 garlic cloves, crushed

Rice with peas

• 1 cup basmati rice, soaked
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Peas
• 1 chicken stock cube
• 2 tbsp oil

Method

1. Mix the oil, garlic and spices well. Cut slits in the chicken with a knife, rub in the mixture and leave overnight or at least 4 hours.
2. Place the chicken in the air fryer (on the rotisserie if you have one, or in the basket) at 170°C for an hour, then 190°C for another hour. For extra browning, add 15 minutes at 200°C.
3. Rice: soften the onion, add the peas and rice and stir, then the water, spices and stock cube, and cook on low until done.
