This particular rub is a "dry-brined" which sits on it for up to 24 hours in the frig, then you use damp paper towels to brush off the excess. Normally, that would be it, but my wife thought we should spray it with Canola oil to help the rub stay on, so we did. It was truly the best chicken ever!

She decided to do some shopping via the internet. She came across one called: COSORI Smart Wi-Fi Air Fryer 5.8QT(100 Recipes), Digital Touchscreen with 11 Cooking Presets for Air Frying, Roasting & Keep Warm ,Preheat & Shake Remind, Works with Alexa & Google Assistant,1700W<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2FB07VLKMMJ5%2Fref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00%3Fie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&data=04%7C01%7C%7Ca91f24cb66c44e66c66e08d8da74a872%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637499541859749869%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=qqzWRzRxxgOzVT96kZHyNq5GLMVOjKeR%2F8rA16P4igg%3D&reserved=0> It is $107.99 at amazon. The user guide is a fully accessible pdf that you can download from the Cosori web site. The setup could probably be done with the app without sighted assistance because if you have the app open when you first plug it in, you can select add a device, pick your model from the list and it walks you through connecting it to your Wi-Fi network. It even noticed we have an eligible Alexa device and connected it. >From a blindness perspective, the iOS app could use some adjustments, so I >decided to do my first experiment, using Alexa, which worked well. Before your first use, you remove all tags, remove the basket, wash the basket and the pan that the basket sits in, wipe off the surfaces of the air fryer inside and out. After drying the washed basket, insert it again into the air fryer. I told Alexa, to preheat the Cosori at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. It did. The air fryer is not any noisier than our microwave oven. After 5 minutes, it beeped. You pull out the basket and set it on a heat resistant surface and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Then, you put it back in and tell Alexa you want to cook a steak for 5 minutes at 400 degrees. (leave the basket empty, this is just a test.) When it is done, remove the basket and again set it on a heat resistant surface and let it cool for 10 to 30 minutes. It did not take 10 minutes to cool. You are then ready to cook your first dish. we decided to cook bacon. Note, I let my wife put the bacon in the hot pan as I haven't gotten my silicone gloves yet. We use thick sliced apple wood smoked Hempler bacon. You preheat it to 320 degrees for five minutes. Remove the basket and place the bacon in the basket with at least 1/4 inch of space between the pieces. 6 slices fit with 5 left-to-right and one vertical. There is a bacon preset that cooks for 6 minutes at 320 degrees, we ended up doing 8 minutes which had it done, but not burnt, and there was very little grease. (interesting factoid: bacon fat's smoking temperature is 374 degrees. So keeping it at a lower temperature reduces the smoke.) We are hooked. Tonight, we did a whole roasted chicken. It does not have a rotisserie attachment, so you cook it in the basket and flip it half way through. It says a 5 to 6 pound chicken will take one hour at 320 degrees. Our chicken was a little over 5 pounds. I used a herb and brown sugar dry-brined that is from the Once Upon A chef web site that was designed for a 12-14 pound turkey. I cut the recipe in half. You do not need to preheat the air fryer for the whole chicken. You put it in the basket and either set it for 1 hour at 320 degrees or tell Alexa to cook for 1 hour at 320 degrees. Half way through, you pause the cooking and flip the chicken over. After it is done, you let it set for 15 minutes. Let me just say that I will never use the regular oven for a whole chicken again! It was perfect. Very moist and the skin was quite crispy, but not burnt. When my gloves arrive, I will be able to do the whole process indepentently with Alexa.
