Air Fryer Whole Chicken

Step 1

Wash your chicken and remove bag from cavity if there is one.

Step 2

Pat dry with paper towels. Rub olive oil on skin and season top and bottom of the bird. Spray inside of air fryer basket with non stick spray and put chicken into basket with the breast side facing down.

Step 3

Close air fryer lid, press air crisp at 360 degrees for 30 min.

Step 4

Then flip to breast side up. Cook remaining 30 minutes at 360 degrees. Always check to ensure meat has reached a safe temp. before consuming. If your bird is larger than mine it may take more time.

Step 5

Remove when done, or leave in the machine when done for at least 5 minutes to retain juices, cut into pieces and enjoy!

Step 6

Alternatively if you cannot tend to the chicken you can put chicken into basket after covered with olive oil and seasonings with breast side facing up at 360 degrees for 60 minutes. This is good too but top will get quite a bit more brown.
