My air fryer smoked out my kitchen trying to cook a whole chicken
I tried to roast a 4 pound chicken in my air fryer last Tuesday, following a recipe that said it would take an hour. About 40 minutes in, the thing started billowing smoke like a campfire. I had to pull it out, open all the windows, and wave a towel around. The chicken was only half cooked and dripping fat all over the basket. I think the recipe was wrong about the size or the fat just had nowhere to go. Has anyone else had a big meat fail like this, and did you ever try again or just stick to smaller cuts?

Honestly, that sounds like my first attempt at a whole turkey in a tiny oven. The fat just pools and burns, it's a total mess. I stick to wings and thighs now, way less drama.

Actually if you put it on a rack the fat drips down so it doesn't burn.
