- Sprinkle peppers with salt, pepper and some lime juice.
- Remove wrapper from the whole chicken, discard giblet pack, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Stuff the inside of the chicken with as many pepper slices as will fit (may vary depending on the size of the chicken).
- Tie the legs together with kitchen twine to help keep the peppers in the cavity while cooking.
- Completely cover the entire chicken with olive oil (may take more than 1 tablespoon depending on size of chicken), and then pat it with taco seasoning until completely covered.
- Spritz the bottom of your air fryer tray or basket with a little olive oil spray and place the chicken in with the breast side down.
- Air fry at 380°F for 30 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over in the basket/tray so that it is breast side up and continue to cook for another 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Allow the chicken to rest and cool down for about 10 minutes before removing from the basket/tray.
- Remove the twine from the legs, remove the peppers from the cavity and use 2 forks to shred the meat and seasoned skin from the bones.
- Serve with you favorite fajita toppings or over rice with beans or a salad.
Tips from Nicole:
- Use gloves to coat the whole chicken in olive oil for less of a mess!
- Add tomatoes, onions and extra peppers to the air fryer basket during the last 10 minutes of cooking and serve alongside the rotisserie chicken fajita meat.
