Air Fryer Whole Chicken
Yes, you can do a whole roast chicken in the air fryer! This handy appliance does a great job on most proteins. As long as you adjust the size chicken to the air fryer capacity, it will turn out great! I love to use butter and mixed fresh herbs to prepare chicken. Dried herbs may be used, but you'll use far less, due to the concentrated flavor of the dried herbs. We enjoy this lovely roast chicken with simple potatoes and vegetables, and perhaps a green salad.

Ingredients:

- Pat chicken dry, inside and out, with paper towels. Remove giblets, trim away any excess fat, and discard.
- Tie 4 sprigs rosemary, sage, and oregano together into an herb bundle with string. Bundle should be about 1/2-inch in diameter. Set aside.
- Combine salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mixture inside the cavity of the chicken and place the herb bundle inside.
- Gently loosen the skin over the breasts and thighs. Insert 1 teaspoon butter and 1 sprig of rosemary beneath the skin of each breast and thigh. Using your fingertips, rub butter all over the skin of the chicken, and place any excess butter inside the cavity of the chicken.
- Sprinkle remaining seasoning mixture over the entire chicken. Place in the air fryer basket, breast-side down.
- Air-fry at 370 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Using tongs, carefully flip the chicken, breast-side up, and continue to air-fry until skin is crisp and brown, 15 more minutes.
- Tent aluminum foil over the chicken and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of one of the thighs should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If needed, return to the air fryer and cook in 5-minute increments until safe temperature is achieved.
- To serve, remove herb bundle and carve.

- Season the chicken
- Pat chicken dry to remove moisture. Brush oil all over the chicken then mix the seasoning ingredients. Season the chicken generously.
- Wrap with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 mins. This is an optional step I recommend for best results.
- Air fry the chicken
- When ready to cook, place chicken in air fryer basket, skin side up. Set the temperature to 360°F / 180°C and roast for 10 mins, flip chicken over and increase temperature to 400°F / 200°C and cook for 20 mins. Flip over again and cook for another 5 to 10 mins to help crisp the skin.
- Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer at the thickest part of the chicken. It should be at least 165°F / 74°C to be considered fully cooked and safe to eat.
- If it isn’t there yet, continue cooking for a few more minutes about 2 minute intervals till it reaches the safe internal temperature and the juices run clear.
- Let chicken rest for about five minutes to lock in the flavor then serve with your favorite side dish.

Ingredients:
- 4 large or 8 small chicken thighs, skin on
- 1 tbsp sunflower or olive oil
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- seasoning of choice (use salt and pepper, or ½-1 tsp of either smoky BBQ, ras-el-hanout, garlic granules, celery salt or garam masala)

- Toss the chicken thighs in the oil, making sure they are all well-coated.
- Mix the flour with the seasoning, then toss with the chicken thighs – it will be a very light coating, but you can double the flour and seasoning if you prefer a thicker coating.
- Arrange the chicken in one layer on the tray of an air fryer without a paddle, and program to cook for 35 mins. Check the thighs are cooked by pulling the flesh on the underside of one away from the bone – it should come away easily and there should be no pink remaining. Cook for another 5-10 mins if needed. The skin should have bubbled and crisped up, and any excess fat from the chicken will have dripped into the base of the fryer (you can discard this). Don’t leave the chicken in the fryer, or the steam will make the skin soft again.
