Try spatchcocking the chicken (cutting out backbone). You won’t need to flip it. It will lay flat and cook more evenly. No non crispy side.

In reply to Owen. You can definitely use the marinade on a turkey but I would double check the cooking time, just to make sure the turkey will be properly cooked.

Can this be done with a turkey?

It tasted good, but I did not get the crispy skin advertised. I dried it for four hours, as recommended and used a vertical roaster, cooking at the prescribed temperature. I did the marination in a bowl because I did not have a plastic bag large enough. I did rotate the bird to ensure even coverage.

This was absolutely incredible. The bird was juicy, tender, extremely tasty, and an absolute delight. I definitely recommend that everyone try this remarkable recipe

Great recipe! My whole family gobbled it up, even my picky eater. This will definitely go into my normal rotation.

In reply to Jocelyn. I haven't tried this one in an air fryer but I think you definitely can. I would lower the baking temperature by 50 F, which is pretty much what I do when I convert an oven recipe to an air fryer one. You should make sure that the chicken is small enough so it can sit in the center of the air fryer basket with enough gaps on all sides, so the hot air can circulate. You probably need a shorter cooking time depending on the size of the chicken that fit in your air fryer. Start checking the chicken at 50 minutes mark to make sure it's not overcooked.

Hi, is it possible to prepare this in an air fryer? What would be your advice? Thank you.

BBQ Roaster extraordinaire.
I used this recipe again and roasted it in an outdoor cooker called the Big easy by Charbroil. Took about one hour and came out deep bronze, crispy and juicy on the inside. By far the best BBQ chicken for chowing down around the table with friends and cocktails. Rich flavor and delightful crunchy skin. I should have done two.
