Ingredients
- 16ounces Brussels sprouts, halved
- 1medium red onion, halved with each half cut into 6 wedges
- 8ounces butternut squash, cut into 1-inch cube
- 1tablespoon olive oil
- 1¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- freshly ground black pepper
- 13½-pound chicken
- 4garlic cloves, smashed
- 1medium lemon, halved
Preparation
- 1. In a medium bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts, onion, and butternut
- squash with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper
- to taste. Select Roast, and set the time to 25 minutes and the
- temperature to 300°F. Press Start/Stop. Once the unit is preheated,
- add the vegetables to the basket, tossing to evenly distribute.
- 2. While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the chicken. Pat the
- chicken completely dry with paper towels, and then press on the
- chicken to flatten it slightly for more even cooking. Season with the
- ¾ teaspoon salt all over the skin and also inside the cavity. Season
- lightly with pepper. Add the garlic to the cavity and then squeeze the
- lemon into the cavity, leaving the lemon halves inside.
- 3. When the vegetables have finished cooking, transfer to a mixing
- bowl. Place the chicken in the basket, and put the basket in the
- AirFryer. Select Roast again with the time set to 55 minutes and the
- temperature set to 350°F. Press Start/Stop.
- 4. With 10 minutes remaining in cooking time, add the vegetables back
- to the basket, distributing them evenly around the chicken. Replace
- the basket to finish cooking.
- 5. When finished (the chicken should register 165°F with an instant read
- thermometer), remove and carve the chicken into individual pieces.
- Serve with the vegetables.
