Today on Recipe This, is all about cooking a frozen whole chicken in an air fryer. Perfect for those times when you have not thawed your chicken in time for dinner or would prefer to cook your chicken from frozen. Ourroutine in the Milners household is to get the frozen chicken out of our chestfreezer the night before we plan to cook it. Then it will be almost thawed whenwe cook it and wont need much extra cooking. Butwhat if you are cooking a completely frozen whole chicken in the air fryer? Onethat you have grabbed from the freezer, placed straight in the air fryer andthen cooked there and then?
I decided to give the job to Dominic, after all as a chef he knows all about chicken safety and will do the best job. Over the years I have become more and more obsessed with cooking whole chicken using my kitchen gadgets. From instant pot frozen whole chicken to slow cooker whole chicken, to air fryer whole chicken to ninja foodi whole chicken to rotisserie chicken in the air fryer oven I have done it all. I have also done a deep dive into the instant pot whole chicken cook times to see if they are really accurate. The biggest lesson learned (well apart from the slow cooker chicken) is that these gadgets will cook your chicken in half the time of the oven and require zero preheat. But what fascinated me most is could you cook a frozen chicken in the air fryer, in the same way without it being dry? Well, I did it and again and again and now have my own thoughts and theories on frozen whole chicken in the air fryer that I want to share with you today and then you can see if they are for you.

Can You Air Fry Frozen Chicken?Yes, you can air fry frozen chicken and there are many different types of frozen chicken that you can air fry. I love air fryer frozen chicken nuggets, air fryer frozen chicken strips, air fryer frozen chicken wings and many more. Though I have to say the easiest to air fry from frozen is the chicken nuggets. Can You Cook A Whole Chicken From Frozen?Yes, you can, and I have cooked a LOT of frozen whole chickens over the years. We tend to buy whole chickens in bulk when they are at a special price and then keep them in the freezer until we plan to cook them. If we are organised, we will grab a whole chicken from the freezer the night before, but sometimes we forget which is when we cook our whole chicken from frozen. Can You Put A Whole Frozen Chicken In Air Fryer?Yes, you can but its much better if you do so with the giblets removed. I love my air fryer whole chicken and found that the first time I did it from frozen was always chickens with giblets. With a frozen solid whole chicken, there is no way you are going to get those giblets out, so you are forced to defrost the whole chicken with the giblets still inside. This creates a drier whole chicken, so if you can, cook a whole frozen chicken in the air fryer without its giblets. Or even better, if you plan to cook from frozen regularly, when you buy them from the supermarket, remove the giblets before freezing. What Size Air Fryer For A Whole Chicken?The best air fryer that can cook a whole chicken is the Cosori (its this one). Unlike my Philips Air Fryer XL its slightly taller so will fit a large whole chicken in it without it hitting the top of the air fryer and burning. However, if you do have a smaller air fryer and it wont fit a whole chicken, think inside about cooking our air fryer Cornish game hens as these will easily fit.

Frozen Whole Chicken Air Fryer IngredientsChicken - You will need a frozen whole chicken. We used a medium one from Morisons that we had kept in our freezer since we purchased it. It came with no giblets and weighed 1.5kg/3.3lbs. Spray - You will also need a spray bottle to be able to easily add extra virgin olive oil to your chicken. This gives the chicken the perfect crisp and also keeps the oil quantity low. Seasoning - I am keeping to just salt and pepper for this frozen chicken, but you can also add in mixed herbs, garlic seasoning etc if you prefer. Then for the kitchen gadgets that we have used in this frozen chicken air fryer recipe it has just been our Cosori air fryer. We have this one and its wonderful for many types of air fryer recipes.

How To Defrost A Whole Chicken?What we do first, when cooking a frozen whole chicken in the air fryer is almost thaw it out first. We cook the frozen chicken for 20 minutes at 80c/180f and this almost defrosts it before doing the main cooking. Then because you have thawed the whole chicken first it wont dry out as you air fry it. Also, if you want to thaw a whole chicken FAST then this is a great way to do it!
