Juicy and tender whole chicken with perfectly crispy skin, cooked easily in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3-5 pound) whole chicken – giblets removed
  • 1–2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees F.
  2. Remove the chicken from the packaging and ensure no giblets remain in the cavity.
  3. Dry the chicken thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel.
  4. Rub or brush the oil uniformly over both sides of the chicken.
  5. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  6. Apply the seasoning mixture generously all over the chicken.
  7. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  8. Carefully place the seasoned chicken, breast-side down, into the air fryer basket.
  9. Cook the chicken for 50 minutes, then flip it over and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
  10. Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees F.
  11. Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before carving and serving.

Notes

Let the chicken rest after cooking to allow juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
