Chef's tip

🍗 A classic reinvented for the air fryer: a wonderfully crispy roast chicken with golden potatoes and tender onions, for a quick and tasty feast! 🥔

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Works very well, up to 3 months in individual portions vacuum-sealed or in freezer bags.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Prepare the vegetables (cut), season the chicken. Store separately in the fridge. Cook on the same day.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Air fryer (10-15 min at 160°C) or oven (15-20 min at 180°C) to preserve the crispness. Microwave possible (2-3 min at medium power) but softens it.

Variations

Add sprigs of rosemary.
Serve with the potatoes and caramelized onions.
Check the internal temperature.

Mistakes to avoid

Not flipping the chicken: breast side down first, then breast side up.
Forgetting to shake the basket for the potatoes.
Carving right away: let it rest for 10 minutes under aluminum foil.

Frequently asked questions

How do you cook a roast chicken in the air fryer?

Season the chicken, arrange the potatoes and onions in the basket, place the chicken breast side down, cook for 25 minutes at 180 °C, flip it and continue for 15 minutes at 190 °C.

What internal temperature should it reach?

The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 75 °C at the thickest part of the thigh. Check doneness before taking the chicken out of the air fryer.

Why should you let the chicken rest?

Let it rest for 10 minutes under aluminum foil before carving so the juices redistribute through the meat. Then serve with the potatoes and caramelized onions.

How do you get the skin golden?

After flipping the chicken breast side up, continue cooking for 15 minutes at 190 °C to brown the skin, which crisps up well in the air fryer.
