Ingredients:

7 pound whole chicken, thawed
1 cup of chicken stock
Poultry seasoning of choice

Ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Remove any innards from the chicken.
  2. Cover the chicken with oil.
  3. Cover the chicken with spices.
  4. Put the wire rack into the pot.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock.

  9. Press the Pressure button and turn the dial to Poultry. Then press the dial button in to select that option.
  10. Press the Time button and adjust the cooking time to 40 minutes.
    (Rule of thumb is about 6 minutes per pound. In this case, the cook will finish fully during the later air frying phase.)
  11. Press the dial in to start the cook.
    (It may take about 9 minutes to fully pressurize.)
  12. When the cooking time completes press the Cancel button and release the pressure, for a rapid release. Use caution when releasing pressure.
  13. Check the meat temperature, it should be about 155° F. or greater
  14. Remove the chicken from the pot and place it in a pan.
  15. Using pot holders empty out the fluids in the pot. Rinse and dry the pot with paper towels.
    (You may save the fluid for other dishes that need a broth.)
  16. Place the pot back into the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer.
  17. Insert the wire rack.
  18. Place the chicken onto the wire rack.
  19. Put on the air fry lid.
  20. Press the Air Fry button and turn the dial to Poultry.
  21. Press the dial in, and then press the Temp button and adjust the cooking temperature to 325° F..
  22. Press the Time button and adjust the cooking time to 13 minutes. (With the additional 2 minutes of air fryer fan cool down time, this will result in a total of 15 minutes the chicken will be in the air fryer.)
  23. Press the dial in to start the air frying.
  24. Once the air fryer fan cool down is finished, the screen turns blue and it starts beeping. Press the Cancel button twice to end the cook.
  25. Check the meat temperature is at least 165° F. in the breast and thigh.
  26. Remove the seared chicken.
  27. Enjoy!
