Tie the carcasses with string to keep them from falling apart and place them on the grill. Smoke for 30-40 minutes at 180-200 ° C. If the fan speed is adjustable, select medium.

You will need: – 1 whole chicken; – salt, chicken spices to taste; – liquid smoke.

Place the chicken pieces on the wire shelf of the preheated airfryer. Smoke at 210–250 ° C until tender (40–50 minutes, depending on the size of the meat pieces). If the fan speed is adjustable, select medium or high.
