Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 lemon, halved

Method
 

  1. Preheat air fryer to 360°F. Pat chicken dry, coat with oil and spice mixture, and stuff with lemon halves.
  2. Place chicken breast-side down in the basket and air fry at 360°F for 30 minutes.
  3. Flip chicken breast-side up, increase heat to 400°F, and air fry 15-20 minutes until breast registers 165°F.
  4. Rest the chicken on a cutting board for 10 minutes, then carve and serve with pan drippings.

Notes

Patting the skin thoroughly dry before oiling is the single most important step for crispiness. Resting is not optional — it locks in every drop of juice. If your air fryer runs hot, start checking the internal temperature 5 minutes early.
