Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 pound whole chicken
- olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- First, remove giblets from the cavity if there are any. Pat the chicken dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix together the seasonings. Generously spray the chicken with olive oil spray. Then, rub all over with seasonings.
- Place the chicken breast side down into your air fryer basket. Air fry at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure it has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally. If needed, flip the chicken over and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes until cooked through.
- Finally, remove the chicken from the air fryer. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Pat the chicken dry. This helps the skin get crispy.
- If needed, preheat your air fryer.
- Season generously all over.
- Cook the breast side down. This keeps the breast meat extra juicy by letting the juices flow down into it.
- Use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature.
- Feel free to brush with melted butter, olive oil, or garlic herb butter.
- If desired, place half a lemon or onion in the cavity of the chicken for added flavor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
