Step 1

Place the frozen whole chicken breast side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360°F for 40 minutes to start thawing and cooking.

Step 2

Carefully take the chicken out and check the cavity for thawed giblets. Remove and discard if present.

Step 3

Brush the chicken with olive oil, then evenly coat it with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning over the entire surface for full coverage.

Step 4

Return the chicken to the air fryer, breast side up. Air fry at 360°F for an additional 30–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the breast and thigh.
