Vortex Air Fryer Roasted Chicken
The rotisserie feature is awesome in the Vortex. The trick is – you can only cook items up to four pounds. If you do bigger you risk breaking the rotisserie. It doesn’t really matter because you can cook and awesome five pounders just using the bake or air fry feature.
If you have some leftover, consider making a pot pie in your air fryer!

Question, in the paragraph the recipe, you say the recipe is for a 5 lb chicken, yet the recipe says 2-4 lb chicken. Just a bit confused. Don’t want to mess up my air fryer or my chicken.
For the rotisserie function, you can only make a chicken up to 4lbs. But with the air fry function, you can cook a larger chicken. Hope that helps!
Thank you!!
Do I turn the chicken over when I get a prompt or not?
You don’t need to – it will cook entirely with breast up.
Don’t the photos show the chicken with breast down?
Hi Hank, for this recipe we cook with the breast side up. Hope that helps!
New to the Vortex and looking for recipes. Doing the 5 lb chicken today.
You will love it. How was it?
