Can you spatchcock chicken in the air fryer?

You probably could if your air fryer is large enough to hold the spatchcocked chicken. Mine is not, so I haven’t tried that method.

What is the difference between spatch cocked chicken and butterflied?

Spatchcocking and butterflying are very similar. Butterflying involves cutting a piece of meat almost in half, but leaving it connected, to double the surface area. Spatchcocking a chicken involves removing the backbone and pressing the bird flat, also increasing the surface area, for faster cooking.

Flip the chicken over so it is breast-side up and press down to flatten the chicken.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and a cooling rack. Place the chicken on top of the cooling rack and season with salt, pepper, coriander and cumin.
Bake chicken at 425F for 45-55 minutes, or when the inner thigh close to the bone reads 165F on a meat thermometer. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
