This air fryer whole chicken recipe is my go-to dinner. It’s totally effortless and makes an insanely juicy chicken! Cooking a whole chicken in the air fryer is so easy and perfection every single time.
Ingredients :
1 whole chicken 3 ½ to 4 pounds
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅙ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
Directions :
Ensure the cavity of the chicken is empty and dab the skin dry.
Rub the skin with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoning.
Place the chicken breast-side down into the air fryer basket. Turn the air fryer on to 350°F.
Cook for 30 minutes, flip the chicken over and cook for 20-30 minutes or until an instant read thermometer reaches 165°F.
Remove from the air fryer and rest 10 minutes before cutting.
