For those of you that love fresh rotisserie chicken then you have come to the right place. This is the easiest recipe to get crispy seasoned chicken. You simply add oil and spices onto the chicken and throw it into your air fryer. It is free of additives, preservatives, and any junky ingredients. This chicken is gluten-free, Paleo, and Whole30 compatible.

Living abroad has many perks but one downfall is that there is typically a language barrier when asking questions at the grocery store. My local grocery store has pre-seasoned ready-to-go rotisserie chickens. They always smell delicious but I have no idea if there is gluten in the spice mix and asking the workers will always leave you more confused typically because of said language barrier. So I just started making them myself and there is nothing quite like fresh and crispy chicken skin.

Having a rotisserie chicken on hand is great to make a quick lunch or to use in any recipe that calls for pre-cooked chicken. You can also save the carcass and make a delicious bone broth with it. I love recipes that do double duty.

I have a smaller air fryer, so could only fit a 2 1/2 pound whole chicken in mine. If you have a bigger air fryer you could most likely fit a 5-pound chicken. I will give the cooking times for both below.
