Ingredients

Chicken
1 whole chicken (3.5-4 lbs)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp salt
Seasoning
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer

Steps

  1. 1

    Pat chicken very dry inside and out. Remove giblets if present.

  2. 2

    Rub olive oil all over, then season generously with salt and all spices — inside the cavity too.

  3. 3

    Place chicken breast-side down in the air fryer. Cook at 360°F for 25 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip breast-side up. Cook another 20-25 minutes until skin is golden and internal temp reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh.

  5. 5

    Rest 10 minutes before carving. The juices need to redistribute.

💡

Tip: Starting breast-side down protects the delicate breast meat while the thighs get a head start. Flip for golden skin on top. Every air fryer fits a different size bird — measure yours first. Rest is mandatory or the juices run out.
