Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken (about 2 to 2.5 kg)
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 250g bacon slices
- 250g Italian sausage
- 250g baby potatoes, halved
- 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 2 large onions, peeled and quartered
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat your DNA Airfryer Oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, thyme, rosemary, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful herb butter.
- Carefully loosen the skin of the chicken over the breast and thighs. Rub half of the herb butter mixture under the skin, spreading it evenly.
- Rub the remaining herb butter mixture all over the outside of the chicken, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
- Stuff the cavity of the chicken with half of the quartered onions and a few sprigs of fresh herbs, if desired.
- Wrap the bacon slices around the chicken, covering as much of the surface as possible.
- Place the baby potatoes, carrots, and remaining quartered onions in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Arrange the marinated vegetables in the bottom of the DNA Airfryer Oven basket or tray, creating a bed for the chicken.
- Place the bacon-wrapped chicken on top of the vegetables in the air fryer basket or tray.
- Insert the basket or tray into the DNA Airfryer Oven and roast the chicken for approximately 90-100 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 75°C and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- If necessary, rotate the chicken halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, carefully remove the basket or tray from the DNA Airfryer Oven.
- Let the roasted chicken rest for a few minutes before carving.
- Carve the meaty and flavorful roast chicken into serving pieces and serve with the roasted vegetables on the side.
