‘Because it was my first try, I decided to do it in slow heat to make sure it was well cooked,’ she wrote in Air Fryer Tips and Recipes Facebook group.
‘I tied the wings and legs with butcher’s twine. I flipped the chicken after half way of the [cooking] time.’
Once her roast chicken was cooked, she said the meat was succulent.
‘It was juicy and delicious,’ she added.

‘Roast chook 1.4kg from Woolies that was seasoned already. I added garlic butter under the skin. Breast side down first 180C for 30 minutes.
‘Breast side up for a further 30 minutes on 180C. Leaving to rest for 15 minutes… Amazing, the meat was so soft and juicy. Never had a roast chicken like that before.’
Dozens of Australians have been sharing their ultimate roast pork with crackling recipe on social media.

Dozens of Australians have been sharing their ultimate roast pork with crackling recipe on social media, with many insisting it’s the best pork they’ve ever made and ‘no oven of mine can do a job like this’.
Cooking pork belly in the oven can take at least two hours to get the crispy, crunchy crackling – but the air frying method takes just a fraction of the time to roast.
‘An hour later… crunchy soft and moist pork belly,’ one cook said, while another added: ‘I tried Pork Belly in the air fryer for the first time and WOW! I will never cook it any other way! Crispy crackling and tender, juicy meat.’
