Ingredients and Preparations:

Rotisserie Magic:
Follow these simple steps to create a succulent Rotisserie-Style Chicken that’s sure to impress:
- Begin by using the rotisserie spit to prepare the chicken. Push the spit through the chicken and securely attach the rotisserie forks to ensure that the chicken is held in place during cooking.
- Select the “Roast” function on your air fryer and adjust the temperature to 365 degrees F. Set the oven to “Rotate” and set the cooking time to 1 hour. Press the “Start” key to initiate the cooking process.
- As the air fryer preheats, prepare the aromatic seasoning blend. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. This seasoning blend is the key to infusing the chicken with a rich and enticing flavor.
- When the air fryer display prompts you to “Add Food,” carefully place the prepared chicken onto the rotisserie spit in the oven. Ensure that the chicken is properly positioned and balanced for even cooking.
- Allow the chicken to roast until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 165 degrees F in the breast and 185 degrees F in the thighs. This ensures that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
- Once the cooking process is complete, carefully remove the rotisserie spit from the air fryer and let the chicken rest for about 10 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
