Air fryer to fit a medium chicken?

10 replies

Had a ninja dual air fryer for a few years, the front panel on one of the baskets has completely come off in my hand so in the market for a new air fryer.
We have loved the ninja but don’t have the money for the same at the moment, can anyone recommend an air fryer, we generally use it for things like nuggets, chips, roasted veggies, but it needs to fit a whole medium chicken in the basket

I have one that looks like a mini oven which fits a medium chicken rotisserie style. It was £50 out of Tesco on special but I’ve seen similar elsewhere. Great for chips/ nuggets. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08HFYS4JH?tag=track-ecpc2-uk-347961-21&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_GB&ascsubtag=ecSEPbzv4pekmmboskj2#immersive-view_1772607625505

This. Replacing the basket will be much cheaper than getting a whole new air fryer. We had a cheaper one before the Ninja and it was nowhere near as good.

I know you said not another Ninja but mine is the one with the probe, I can fit a 1.7kg chicken in each basket if that helps you size wise. I am not sure what size that classes as ie medium but I thought it might be helpful to put it here. Also you can get this without the probe and it is cheaper.

I really like my Instant Versazone. It's on a really good deal at Amazon at the moment. https://amzn.eu/d/0e0DCNfT

Replace the basket. Check on vinted and also on Amazon and ninja website

I have a Breville Halo Flexi 11 litres one, it has two separate baskets (next two each other) but the middle side slides out and easily can fit a 1.5-1.7kg whole chicken. It doesn’t come with roasting tray but bought small roasting tray from Lidl and perfectly fits.

Thank you to everyone who suggested a replacement basket! Just ordered one from the ninja website :)
