Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Pat chicken very dry inside and out. Remove giblets if present.
- 2
Rub olive oil all over, then season generously with salt and all spices — inside the cavity too.
- 3
Place chicken breast-side down in the air fryer. Cook at 360°F for 25 minutes.
- 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
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.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 50 minutes vs ~90 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
