Countertop Chicken Roaster

[RobbieTheTruth]

Hello,

I hate using the big oven since Airfryers - and I want to eat more chicken.

Anyone have any recommendations for a countertop 'chicken cooker'?

I've got an InstantPot and I hate how Chicken turns out in it.

I believe AirFryers can work, but I imagine chicken fat would saturate the heating elements and make it smoke.

Are rotisseries the way to go?

Ideally, dishwasher safe, easy to use/clean etc.

Anyone got any ideas?

I have a Ninja foodie.

It can accommodate a 2kg whole chicken.

20 minutes on pressure cooker mode, 5 minutes resting and then 10 minutes on air crisp.

Best chicken ever. Very moist.

Got a counter top fan oven, cooked a spatchcock chicken perfectly in 40 minutes, use it often, makes great yorkshires and soda bread.

Skin on chicken breast or thighs in the airfryer are delicious.
20mins for breast
30 for thighs

I can get a 1.5kg chicken in my 4.7l standard air frier, cooks perfectly, you can buy an air frier that has a rotisserie mode if you fancy.

I bought this to replace my old air fryer about 2 months ago, so far I'm impressed. There are just two us so it's about the right size, it does a small chicken on the rotisserie very well but it's a pain to get it on the rotisserie. So far it cooks everything we need very well and with the glass front it's better than the TV at the moment.

The elements are above the food in an air fryer, so should not be getting coated in fat.

I do think that I get a reasonable approximation of rotisserie chicken in mine, and that if you want much better then you might need to be looking at the big shop-owned ones where the juices from one chicken are dripping onto the one below as they go round and round.

The best chicken I make is in my InstantPot, using the pressure cooking mode first, then switching to the air fryer lid, using the 'zero minute' method.

Place the whole chicken into the InstantPot, fill with water so chicken is 90% covered, set timer to '0' minutes, this brings the pot up to pressure and then switches off. Let the pot release its pressure naturally, takes about an hour and half in total. This completely cooks the chicken making it really juicy. Drain the water (retaining for stock/gravy) and then put the air fryer lid on to brown the skin. Perfect.

Or get one of their large air fryers..
