Prep time: 10 min

Yield: 8 servings

Description

Using an air fryer to cook a whole chicken gives you very crispy skin, and even the white meat stays tender and juicy.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 1/2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 (5 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
2 Whisk olive oil, Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, paprika, and salt together in a small bowl.
3 Pat chicken dry using paper towels. Brush spice mixture over entire chicken, including underneath the wings.
4 Place chicken in the basket of the air fryer breast side down; cook, undisturbed, for 45 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken over using tongs; cook until an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
5 Remove chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.
