Best Air Fryer Roast Chicken Recipe

• 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 pounds)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

• Lemon wedges and fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. This will help achieve a crispy skin. Remove any giblets from the cavity if present.

2. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken, then evenly coat the chicken with the spice mix, both inside and out.

3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.

4. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breast-side down in the air fryer basket. Cook at 360°F (180°C) for 30 minutes. Then, carefully flip the chicken over (using tongs) and continue cooking for another 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

6. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat. Garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs if desired.
