Cooking a whole chicken has never been easier or tastier with this air fryer recipe. Everyone will love the crispy skin on this delicious roast chicken.
Gather Ingredients: Measure and have all ingredients handy.
Prep the Basket: Lightly oil the basket or spritz it with avocado or olive oil spray.
Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken with paper towels to dry. Loosen the skin over the chicken breasts with a wooden spoon or another blunt utensil handle and tuck the butter pieces under it. Sprinkle with the seasonings. Place the chicken in the basket, breast-side down.
Air-Fry the Chicken: Cook at 360 F for 40 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken over and continue cooking for 20 to 30 more minutes or until it reaches 165 F in the inner thigh and thickest part of the breast. If it isn’t quite there, continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes and check again.
Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken to a platter, tent with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
