Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Chicken approximately 3 ½ - 4 pounds
- 1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
For the Seasoning Mixture:
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Make sure your chicken can fit in your air fryer (untie the legs and flatten the chicken out if needed to make it fit). Clean the chicken and remove all the giblets from the cavity before cooking.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Rub the olive oil onto all sides of the chicken with your hands or a basting brush.
- Mix the seasonings together in a small bowl. Rub the seasoning mixture onto the chicken with a basting brush.
- Place the chicken in your air fryer and cook at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over in the air fryer and cook for 30-35 more minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Start checking the chicken after 30 minutes and continue to check it every minute afterwards to ensure that the chicken does not get over cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes and then it’s ready to cut, serve and enjoy!

Notes
You can easily make this chicken with any of your favorite seasonings. I do find that fresh garlic will burn in the air fryer, so I recommend using garlic powder.
I use an instant read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature before removing it from the air fryer.
Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. I like to shred or slice all the chicken off the bones and then store the leftover chicken to enjoy or use in your favorite casseroles or soup recipes.
