Instruction manual
1
Choose chicken for cooking in the air grill. It should not be very large, weighing about 1 kg. Wash thoroughly, remove any remaining entrails, and cut off excess skin on the neck. Dry it inside and out with a cotton towel.
2
Prepare the mixture that you will grease the chicken. You can buy it in the store, but better do it yourself. Take the garlic and grind it in a mortar with salt. Add cardamom powder, dried basil, grated nutmeg, coriander, bitter red pepper. Rub the chicken carcass with this mixture inside and out. Put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3
Put a baking sheet or a plate for fat on the bottom of the air grill, which will drain during the preparation of the chicken.
4
The air grill kit includes a special metal stand for cooking poultry. Put the chicken carcass on this stand and place it in the glass container of the air grill. If you did not have this stand, then you can replace it with an empty bottle or put the carcass directly on the grill. Cook at a temperature of 220-250̊ C for 30 minutes.
5
Check the readiness of the chicken. To do this, pierce it with a knife. If a clear liquid is released, the chicken is ready. There is a situation when it still takes some time for full readiness, and the upper part of the carcass burns slightly. To avoid this, cover the chicken with foil and continue cooking.
