Marinating (Optional):
If time permits, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Preheat the Airfryer to 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes.
Place the chicken in the basket breast-side down and cook for 35-40 minutes.

Adding Mushrooms and Chestnuts:

Remove the chicken from the Airfryer, flip it breast-side up, and arrange the mushroom and chestnut mixture around it.
Continue cooking at 180°C (356°F) for another 20-25 minutes, until the chicken skin becomes crispy.

Resting and Serving:
Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the chicken alongside the mushrooms and chestnuts for a delicious festive dish.
