My double-drawer air fryer sure is surprising me at every turn. I was convinced I wouldn’t be able to fit a whole chicken into one of its drawers to roast it whole. I was wrong.
It wasn’t the world’s largest chicken. It fit in the basket snugly, with space at either end for the air flow that is essential to air fryer cooking. And that is key to this trendy new beast: hot air moves around for every second that it is cooking, just like a conventional convection oven, so we should not fill the basket so tightly that it cannot do its work. Most air fryer baskets are more than big enough for the average whole chicken.
But there are only two of us in the house, so one small chicken was more than enough. Having said that, given that my particular model has two drawers , I could of course roast two small chickens at the same time, using both drawers. I could even flavour them differently. I’m really starting to like this critter now.
Tarragon, which is profuse in my garden right now, was the chief aromatic, along with fresh garlic, lemon, salt and black pepper.2 Tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
