What is a Rotisserie?
Rotisserie is a type of cooking where food, usually meat, is skewered on a spit and roasted over an open fire or in an oven. This method of cooking results in evenly cooked and juicy meat. The rotisserie in an air fryer works in the same way, except that the meat is cooked using hot air instead of open flames or a heating element.
Advantages of using a rotisserie
With an air fryer oven with rotisserie, you no longer have to worry about uneven cooking or food that is not cooked through. The built-in rotisserie will ensure that your food is evenly cooked every single time. And because it uses a heating element and a powerful fan to cook, you can be sure that your food will be crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Another advantage of rotisserie air fryer/ovens is that they come with multiple cooking functions. This means that you can use them to cook more than just chicken. You can also use them to make roasted vegetables, kebabs, and other dishes.
Key Considerations
When shopping for an air frying oven rotisserie, we recommend that you do your research. Different models will fit different needs, so it’s important to choose one that will fit your kitchen and cooking style. Here are some key considerations:
Capacity and size
As we mentioned before, air fryer combo rotisserie ovens come in a variety of sizes, with the capacity ranging from 6 quart up to 32 quart. Choose one that will fit your needs. How much food do you want to be able to cook at one time? If you have a large family or entertain often, you might want to choose a larger model. From our experience, it is always better to go bigger, than end up having to make multiple batches all the time.
Power
Rotisserie air fryers use hot air to cook food. This means that they use a lot of power. Check the unit’s wattage before you buy it. The higher the wattage, the more powerful appliance.
Accessories
All rotisserie ovens come with some kind of skewer or spit, but some models come with additional accessories, like a baking tray or a drip pan. Whether the additional accessories are a factor for you depends on what you want your air fryer to do. Do you want to make kebabs? You will need a skewer stand.
Extra features
Some models come with additional features that might be useful to you. If you want an air fryer that can do more than just cook chicken, look for one that comes with multiple cooking functions. Some models even have a dehydrator function, which can be great for making Jerky or fruit chips.
Budget
Budget is always an important consideration when choosing any kitchen appliance, whether it’s for your restaurant kitchen, or your home. Air fryer oven with rotisserie and dehydrator range in price from around $80 to $200. While more money usually means better quality, that’s not always the case. Sometimes, you can find a great unit at a lower price. We are always on the lookout for the best deals, so be sure to check our website for the latest prices.
Air Fryer Rotisserie Oven vs Toaster Oven
When it comes to cooking, both air fryers and toaster ovens with rotisserie can do a great job. However, there are some differences that you should take into account before making your decision. Air fryers cook food faster because they use fans and circulating heat to cook. Toaster ovens, on the other hand, use radiation from heating element to cook food. Air fryers are also more energy-efficient than toaster ovens.
Toaster ovens can be used for a variety of cooking tasks such as baking, broiling, and toasting. Air fryers, on the other hand, are only designed for frying. However, as there are more and more multi-purpose kitchen appliances, the lines between the two are starting to blur.
Nowadays, you can find air fryers that come with multiple functions such as baking, roasting, and dehydrating. And you can also find toaster ovens that come with an air fryer function. So, if you’re looking for an all-in-one appliance, you can definitely find one, but have in mind that an appliance that excels in one operation is often better than the appliance that is mediocre in 10 operations.
Rotisserie vs Halogen Oven
The halogen oven is the latest cooking trend. It’s a type of oven that uses halogen lamps to cook food. And like air fryers, halogen ovens cook food faster than conventional ovens. Halogen ovens can be used for a variety of tasks such as roasting, baking, grilling, and steaming. And just like air fryers, they come in a variety of sizes and with different features.
So, what’s the difference between the two? The main difference is that air fryers use hot air to cook while halogen ovens use far-infrared radiation. The halogen ovens roast the food, so they cannot achieve the crispy, crunchy food texture as the air fryers. Halogen ovens are also more expensive.
What can you cook in a rotisserie oven?
Just like any other, a rotisserie air fryer can be used to cook a variety of foods: chicken, fish, vegetables, French fries, and more. But the most popular rotisserie dish is chicken.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken made in an air fryer is juicy and evenly cooked, just like the ones you can get at the rotisserie counter at your local grocery store. But the best part is that you can make it at home, for much cheaper, and you can also experiment with different spices and flavors to create your own signature dish.
Every air fryer with a rotisserie function comes with a spit and forks that you can use to skewer the chicken. Just make sure to follow the instructions in your air fryer’s manual so that you do not damage the appliance.
French fries
French fries are another popular dish that can be made in a rotisserie air fryer. The rotating action ensures that the fries are evenly cooked and crispy on the outside without having to turn them around and shake the basket.
This type of air fryer often comes with a rotating mesh basket, which looks like a deep fryer basket, and one of those cages for lottery balls combined. This allows hot air to circulate around the fries, cooking them evenly from all sides, while they tumble around in the basket.
Kebabs and Gyros
If you love kebabs or gyros, then you’ll be happy to know that you can also make them in a rotisserie air fryer. Just skewer the meat on the spit and let the air fryer do its job. In no time, you’ll have perfectly cooked kebabs or gyros-like meals made with mouth-watering juicy meat.
Rotisserie Oven / Air Fryer FAQ
Is getting a fryer/oven with rotisserie worth it?
If you’re looking for an all-in-one appliance that can do it all, then an air fryer with rotisserie is definitely worth the investment. Not only can you use it to make your favorite fried foods, but you can also use it to make other dishes such as rotisserie chicken, roasted sirloin, crunchy vegetable chips, and more.
How to use a rotisserie?
Nearly every air fryer with rotisserie comes with a spit and forks that you can use to skewer the chicken. Just make sure to follow the instructions in your product users’ manual so that you do not damage the appliance.
The rotisserie works by slowly rotating the food as it cooks. This ensures that the food is cooked evenly from all sides and results in juicier, more flavorful meals. To use the rotisserie feature of your air fryer, simply skewer the food on the spit, set the timer, and let the air fryer do its job. When the timer goes off, your food will be perfectly cooked and ready to enjoy.

This oven-like air fryer has an extra-large capacity of 32 Qt, or 30 liters, which is enough to fit a whole chicken or smaller turkey, a 13-inch pizza, or 6 slices of bread.
