Have not tried it. But I guess a smallish chicken will be fineCan you roast a whole chicken in the XL ?
I regularly do a full chicken.. in pieces but, it's a full chickens worth of pieces.. a full chicken will fit, sure of it..Can you roast a whole chicken in the XL ?

1 KG. Yes. Roast it in foil for 30 minutes. Then the last 10-15 minutes outside the foil. Nice and juicy.Can you roast a whole chicken in the XL ?
what fryer is that? basket looks different to the XLMy goto method for red meat...
- From packaging > properly towel dry both sides
- Rub with salt both sides > rub with spices both sides
- Let stand outside for 60 mins > oil both sides
- 8 by 6 mins in the airfryer on 180 turning after 8
- proceed to eat (if you rest them, then arrange them as in the image, I did that because of fitting already 3 on my plate before getting into the last two)

It is the XXL, got it for R3200 on black friday as discount + voucher. I've been using the grill bottom instead of the normal mesh as my standard basket bottom. It is better than the mesh imho.what fryer is that? basket looks different to the XL

So you reccomend the grill bottom?
I've been pondering getting that, or the pizza attachment.
Yes, I prefer it ovet the mesh. But if pizza is your thing, then go for that first.looks easier to clean than the mesh
I love the grill attachment, use it more than the basket.So you reccomend the grill bottom?

I put the xl basket into the XXL basket in a store one morning and was shocked at the little size difference.. 5mm if that on all sides..
Admittedly I didn't pay particular attention to the difference in height of the baskets but, I don't recall there being much of a difference height wise..I recall it’s about 200ml in volume but I might be wrong.
Trick is to first leave them in water for a while 40-60 mins, dry them, add oil.Just got a white XL from S&H today, at basically half the price.
made some roast baby potatoes to try it out, 180 for 25 minutes shaking at about 10 minutes.
probably could have done with an extra couple minutes at max temp.
but so far seems a treat, and I think is going to make a great duo with the xioami induction cooker

Then for wedges I normally do 160 long followed by 180 short. From top my head I think it was 20mins 160 and then 8/8 or 10/6 for 180. I add any spices at very end.
Yes, starch removal. Light oil spray or manually add some after towel dried.will try the water trick. I assume this is to remove starch?
I think some sort of oil spray would be useful, as it was kind of a waste to dirty a bowl to toss them in the oil. This might also be useful for chicken
