Whole Chicken BBQ Ingredients- 1 whole chicken (approx. 1kg, thoroughly cleaned and prepped)
- Pinch of black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Pinch of dried parsley (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup beer (approx. 100ml, to remove gamey odor and tenderize)
- 1 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, I’ll show you how to make delicious whole chicken BBQ easily using an air fryer. This recipe results in a crispy exterior and a wonderfully juicy interior, creating a meal that rivals restaurant quality.
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the special BBQ sauce that will make your chicken taste amazing. In a bowl, combine a pinch of black pepper, 1 tsp of minced garlic, a pinch of dried parsley, 1/2 cup of beer, and 1 tsp of salt. Stir everything together until well combined. The beer not only helps remove any gamey odor from the chicken but also tenderizes the meat.
Step 3
Take your cleaned and patted-dry whole chicken and generously coat it with the prepared BBQ sauce. Make sure to spread the marinade evenly, getting it into all the nooks and crannies, and even inside the cavity. For an even deeper flavor, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
Now, preheat your air fryer to 175°C (350°F). Place the marinated whole chicken inside and cook for approximately 30 minutes. It’s a good idea to flip the chicken halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Cooking time can vary depending on the size of your chicken and your air fryer model, so check for doneness around the 25-minute mark. If you prefer an extra crispy skin, you can increase the temperature to 180°C (360°F) for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Step 5
Carefully remove the cooked whole chicken from the air fryer and place it on a serving platter.
Step 6
Serve this piping hot, freshly roasted chicken alongside fresh scallions (if desired) for an enhanced flavor experience. This impressive whole chicken BBQ, easily made at home, is a truly delicious dish. Enjoy!
