Air Fryer Roast Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken (about 3–4 lbs / 1.5–2 kg)

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
• 1 lemon (halved, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Remove any giblets if included.

2. Season: Rub olive oil all over the chicken. In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme. Sprinkle and rub the seasoning mix evenly over the chicken.
3. Optional stuffing: Place lemon halves inside the cavity of the chicken for extra flavor.
4. Preheat the air fryer: Set the air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for 5 minutes.
5. Cook: Place the chicken breast-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook for 30 minutes.
6. Flip: Carefully turn the chicken breast-side up and cook for another 25–30 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

7. Rest: Remove the chicken and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Tips:

• For extra crispy skin, lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray halfway through cooking.

• Save the juices from the basket to drizzle over the chicken before serving.
