Step 1

Heat the air fryer to 180C and rub the butter all over the skin of the chicken. Season well with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Place the lemon half, garlic and thyme in the cavity of the chicken.

Step 3

Roast, breast side down, for 30 minutes. Then flip the right way up and roast for another 35 minutes. Check the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear when the thickest parts of the breast and thigh are pierced with a skewer or knife.

Step 4

Leave the chicken to stand for a few minutes before carving. If you would like to make gravy, see the Recipe Tips.
