I spatchcock the chicken to help it fit in my air fryer.
Andy LynesSpatchcocking, or removing the backbone to flatten out the chicken, is key for my recipe.
Some larger air fryers are big enough to fit the whole chicken straight out of the package, in which case you can skip this step.
Turn the chicken over and snip off the wing tips and the knuckles on the legs.
Finally, using the flat of your hand, press down on the central breast bone to flatten the chicken.
