Ninja Speedi Air Fryer Whole Roast Chicken (with Cooking Time Calculator)

Juicy, succulent Whole Roast Chicken air fried in the Ninja Speedi. So easy and ready in about an hour.

Great served with stuffing, either made with Paxo using our air fryer timings or homemade Air Fryer Sage and Onion Stuffing. And, of course, gammon, parsnips and Brussels Sprouts (okay, we'll let you leave the sprouts if you don't like them).

Equipment

• 1 Ninja Speedi

Ingredients

  

• 500 ml stock I used some homemade chicken stock I already had
• 1.730 kg chicken or thereabouts, it can be a chicken anywhere between 1.7 and 2 kg (3.5 - 4lb)
• 25 g unsalted butter or dairy-free spread I like Pure Dairy Free Buttery Taste
• 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning or Mixed Herbs
• Salt
• Pepper

For the Glaze

• 50 g unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or mixed herbs
• 1 good pinch salt
• black pepper
• Gravy
• 100 ml stock
• 40 g tomato purée
• 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

 

• Slice about 25 g unsalted butter and insert under the breast skin.
• Place the stock in the liner / inner pot of the Ninja Speedi.
• Place the Cook & Crisp tray in the bottom position and place the chicken on top. Season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the herbs.
• Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch to RAPID COOKER. Select Steam Air Fry, set temperature to 180ºC and set time to 40 minutes for a 1.7 kg chicken. Use our online calculator to check the timings for the weight of your chicken*
• It takes approximately 10 minutes to warm up before the countdown starts automatically. While it warms up, the display will say 'Pre'.
• Melt the butter and mix with the herbs, salt and pepper (you can also add a bit of smoked paprika or our Baharat Spice Blend). If you have room in the Speedi, you can mix it all in a ramekin and then place said ramekin in the actual Speedi with the chicken for a few minutes, 3-5 minutes will do.
• With 10 minutes left on the timer, or a bit earlier, brush the glaze over as much of the chicken as you can.
• At the end, remove the chicken and the tray. Leave the juices in the pot and set to Sauté level 4 or 5. Stir in the extra stock, the tomato purée and red wine vinegar and let it bubble for a few minutes to reduce a bit, turn the heat down if it's too forceful but the key is that it bubbles so that it can reduce a bit. Keep the lid open

Notes

*Timings are always going to depend on the chicken (plumper chickens, above all around the breast will take longer to cook). A meat thermometer comes in handy to check internal temperature. Make sure you use our calculator to work out the cooking time
