Keto Air Fryer Rotisserie Chicken Dinner
If you’re looking for delicious yet easy Keto dinners, try our Keto air fryer rotisserie chicken recipe. A whole chicken is air-fried until perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside and then served with healthy green beans. We decided to keep things simple – the chicken is seasoned with just enough salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to bring out the wonderful juicy flavor of the meat. This recipe is best when served warm, but you can store the leftovers for a few days and use them for other Keto-friendly meals. Enjoy!
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the kosher salt, black pepper and granulated garlic together in a small bowl. Then take your chicken and sprinkle some of the seasoning into the cavity of the chicken, but leaving the majority of the seasoning for the outside. Evenly sprinkle the seasoning all over. Truss the chicken using kitchen twine. Take a long piece of twine and place the middle part of the twine underneath the back of the bird. Wrap the twine around each of the wings to hold them tight to the body. Then run the twine along the thigh crease and under the legs ending at the joint at the end of the legs. Tie the legs together tightly with a knot.
Step 2
Place the rotisserie skewer inside the chicken and secure it. Place the chicken on the skewer into the air fryer. Set the air fryer for 350 F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Step 3
You may not need the entire time so begin to monitor the chicken around the hour mark. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken (usually the breast) should read at least 165°F (175°C).
Step 4
When the chicken is almost done cooking you can begin to cook the green beans. If you choose to use frozen green beans you can simply place them in the microwave and cook them for 3 minutes adding additional time until they are hot and steamy. When the beans are hot, add in the butter and pinches of salt to taste.
Step 5
Slice the chicken into parts. Slice the thighs and leg portion off. Cut them in between the joint to separate them. Then, carve the breasts from the carcass and separate the wings. We like to cut the breast into several thick slices, about five slices, but you can slice them however thick you would like. Remove any remaining meat from the carcass that the knife may have missed.
Step 6
Serve with buttered green beans. For the most accurate macros, serve equal parts of white and dark meat in each serving. Place any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container. The leftovers can be enjoyed for up to three to four days.
