Roast a Whole Chicken in Under an Hour: This Air Fryer Recipe Will Save You Time
Eating healthy can be difficult, especially when cooking a good meal can be so time-consuming and tiring. Not to forget, it's getting more expensive, too. A recent CNET survey found 93% of US adults are concerned about inflation. Groceries are getting more expensive but so is eating out. As such, having healthy recipes you can cook at home quickly can be game changers, and we have one for you. An air fryer can help you cook up a perfect roast chicken in under an hour, and it's an excellent recipe for those looking for healthy and easy-to-cook foods. Air fryers can cook a variety of foods in very little time compared to traditional methods, which makes them an excellent tool for those who want a quick meal in under an hour. It's easy to use as well, which makes it a must-have for those who don't have a lot of experience or expertise in the kitchen. During my decade-long tenure as a food and kitchen tech editor, the air fryer has been my most-used kitchen appliance. My latest obsession is using an air fryer to roast a whole chicken. When it comes to lip-smacking meals, it's very hard to beat a well-roasted chicken. Add some root vegetables into the mix, slather on gravy and you get a proper Sunday dinner with leftover chicken you can eat for the rest of the week. Roasted chicken isn't a very complicated recipe in general, but it can take quite a bit of time in a full-size oven, which requires preheating. An air fryer can cut this cooking time by 15 to 20% -- and the skin will come out super crispy and with the nonstick basket, cleanup is a breeze. Air fryer chicken is one of the easiest and most satisfying recipes I've made lately. David Watsky/CNET To make a perfect roasted chicken in about 45 minutes, all you need is an air fryer (4 quarts or larger,) a chicken of your choice and some simple spices and pantry ingredients. I'm well versed in the joys of air fryer cooking, but air fryer chicken is perhaps the best cool-weather cooking discovery I've made while tinkering with these trendy convection cookers. Let me show you how it all works. Can you really cook a whole chicken in an air fryer? You sure can. The secret to great roasted chicken is high heat while not overcooking the bird for a crispy skin with moist, tender meat. An air fryer is the perfect vessel for this method since it envelops the food inside with hot quickly moving air and manages to crisp outer layers better than a full-size convection oven that features more widely dispersed heat. The smaller air fryer cooking chamber also means more consistent temps throughout a single session. Air fryers are typically smaller than wall ovens, but many models are capable of handling a 3- or 4-pound chicken. I cooked a full 4-pound roaster and it fit comfortably inside my Dreo 6-quart ChefMaker smart air fryer oven. Read more: Grill, Bye. Make Your Next Burger in an Air Fryer and Thank Me Later What size air fryer do you need to cook a whole chicken? I used a fancy smart air fryer but just about any 5-quart model will do. David Watsky/CNET This fancy souped-up air fryer has a steam feature and smart cooking programs, but I didn't need or use them. I cooked the chicken on basic air fryer mode at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes, flipping the bird (ha!) after 25. You won't need a fancy air fryer, either. This $120 Instant air fryer will get the job done. As will this $80 Gourmia model. There was minimal prep in this air fryer chicken recipe, which I adapted from a few found online and my go-to oven-roasted chicken recipe. I whisked together a quick marinade with olive oil, grain mustard, salt, pepper and some of my favorite Mediterranean seasoning blend. I stuffed the chicken with half of an orange, some green onion and a bunch of fresh parsley that was down to its final days in the fridge. About 10 minutes before I pulled it from the air fryer. David Watsky/CNET What should you serve with roasted chicken I served the chicken with rice made in my speedy and effortless rice cooker, but I could have just as easily dropped some potatoes or other root vegetables in with the chicken and had myself with a full dinner to feed four or five -- all cooked in the confines of one nonstick air fryer basket. Air fryers cook fast so careful not to burn the skin My only other note when making an air fryer bird is to keep a close eye on the chicken, especially toward the end. The heat from an air fryer is intense and could burn the skin if you have it cranked up too high or leave it in too long. If your skin seems to be getting brown faster than the chicken is coming to temp inside, pull back on the heat and continue monitoring. You can always fire it up again once the meat is cooked to get a crispy skin before serving. You'll know the meat is cooked when a meat probe reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit when plunged into the thickest part of the breast. You'll need at least a 5-quart air fryer to make a roasted chicken. David Watsky/CNET Ingredients for air fryer roast chicken 4-pound chicken, giblets removed 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons grain mustard Seasoning blend (optional) Salt and pepper to taste Lemon or orange Fresh herbs Almost done... David Watsky/CNET How to make air fryer roast chicken Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit Whisk olive oil, mustard, seasoning blend, salt and pepper together Rub mustard marinade over the entire chicken Place chicken in air fryer basket breast down on top of the wire rack and cook for 25 minutes Flip the bird breast up and cook for the another 20 minutes Remove when juices run clear or an internal thermometer reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Pour juices from the air fryer basket over sliced chicken or use to make a gravy

The Dreo tower fan has been hailed 'better than Dyson' by several Amazon shoppers and is ideal for cooling down your home during the heatwave – and it's on sale for £68 Whilst we may have all been looking forward to the warmer weather, one thing we're less thrilled about is how warm our homes get. As British homes are typically designed to retain heat, the hot summer months and mini heatwaves can often leave them feeling stuffy and too hot to relax in. A fan is of course the best way to help keep the air cool and circulating around the house, and Amazon shoppers think they've found the best one to shop that's affordable, works well and is, according to them, 'better than Dyson.' The Dreo 28dB Silent Tower Fan is usually priced at £79.99, but it's currently on sale with 15% off, slashing the price to £67.99. The Dreo Silent Tower Fan comes in both black and white colourways, with the black available at the reduced price whilst the white one is still full price at £79.99. One of the biggest draws of the fan is that it's almost silent, operating at just 28 decibels, which means you can have it running without interrupting your sleep or drowning out the TV. It also has an automatic switch off as well as an eight hour timer that's ideal for using overnight, and when used in sleep mode it automatically mutes to prevent disrupted sleep. The LED display also automatically switches off, keeping your room cool and dark – ideal for sleeping during the heat. You can choose from four different modes – normal, natural, sleep, and auto – and there are also four speed settings to pick from which range from a gentle breeze to a strong blow. The Dreo Silent Tower Fan also comes with a remote control so you can operate it from wherever you are in the room.

It measures 36 inches high, so the cool air will fill the room and reach you even whilst sitting or lying in bed. Amazon shoppers have been thrilled with their purchase, with one writing: 'I purchased 2 of these, my son has the gas boiler in his room and gets very hot, he did have a Dyson but this works much better, I have one due to menopause, I love the remote because I can turn it off and on depending how hot I feel.' Another agreed: 'Great fan. Very cold air and very easy to use. Best fan ever, so much better than the Dysons!' Some found it was not as quiet as they'd hoped, with one saying: 'I've only given 3 stars for now, only just taken it out of box to try it, working but definitely not quiet so why say it is? I've a slight headache already!' Others however disagreed, with another reviewer writing: 'Bought this fan last year and honestly one of the best thing I've ever purchased. It's so easy to use and it actually blows cold air out rather than just circulating the hot air. The different modes are really helpful ( sleep mode is so silent and perfect for me, I wake up to any noise). My whole family have bought one, would 10/10 recommend!' Another said: 'It's wonderful, practical, looks like a small juke box, classy and had no issues with its functionality. Much more economical than the premium brands like Dyson but does the same job if not better.'
