Air Fryer Roast Chicken Dinner
Description
The recipe begins by slicing parsnips and carrots and coating them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary before placing them in the air fryer basket. A medium whole chicken is then seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley, and placed over the vegetables. The chicken roasts at 180°C (360°F) for 25 minutes, allowing the vegetables to cook underneath while the chicken skin crisps. Sausage meat is mixed with onion, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and thyme, formed into stuffing balls, and cooked afterward in the air fryer to develop a savory accompaniment.
Separately, sprouts are halved and potatoes sliced into roasting shapes, tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper for roasting later. Additional items such as pigs in blankets are included for a traditional roast dinner feel. The use of air fryer expedites cooking while retaining moisture and texture in the chicken and vegetables, creating a well-rounded meal with distinct herb and garlic flavors.
This dinner offers a convenient way to prepare a roast-style meal using modern techniques, with careful layering and timing of ingredients ensuring all components finish cooked appropriately.

- 1 Tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tsp rosemary
- 1 chicken medium whole
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp parsley

Instructions
- Peel and slice your carrots and parsnips lengthways. Load into a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Toss with your hands for a good coating and then load into the air fryer basket.
- Then place your chicken bum side up and smoother in extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley. Load the chicken into the air fryer basket, bum side up over the carrots and parsnips. Air fry for 25 minutes at 180c/360f.
- Whilst the air fryer is busy, load the sausage meat and other stuffing ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Make into stuffing balls.
- When the air fryer beeps, remove the chicken, and put to one side and load the stuffing balls into the air fryer over the carrots and parsnips. Cook for 5 minutes on the same temperature.
- Whilst the air fryer is busy prep your potatoes and sprouts. Slice your sprouts in half and wash them. Peel and slice your potatoes into roasted potato shapes. Toss both (separately) in extra virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley. When the air fryer beeps remove the contents and put to one side and load the air fryer up with the chicken, this time breast side up. Season again the breast side with extra virgin olive oil and extra parsley. Then add the potatoes and sprouts to any available gaps and cook for a further 20 minutes on the same temperature.
- When it beeps add in the pigs in blankets and cook for another 6 minutes.
- When it beeps again remove the chicken and allow to rest before carving. Load the other sides back into the air fryer and cook for a final 4 minutes.
- You now have a roast chicken dinner with six sides done in an hour.
Notes
- Salt and pepper can be adjusted and used at every stage of cooking for balanced seasoning.
- Layering the chicken on top of the vegetables helps infuse the vegetables with chicken juices during roasting.
- Stuffing balls made with sausage meat and breadcrumbs provide a flavorful side that cooks quickly in the air fryer.
- Consider slicing the sprouts in half to ensure even cooking and better texture.
- Potatoes shaped for roasting and coated with oil and seasoning roast well alongside other components for a full meal.
