Air Fryer Whole Chicken Recipe

• Start by mixing together softened butter with chopped herbs and kosher salt.
• Take the chicken, and using a tablespoon, push the skin gently. Using your fingers, gently rub the butter below the chicken skin, and smear it both over and under.
• Slice off the top of the head of garlic. Put half a lemon and the whole head of garlic into the chicken cavity.
• Truss the chicken, place it breast downward on the Air Fryer basket. Using a brush, brush olive oil all over.
• Air fry at 370F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, take out the basket.
• Flip the chicken over gently, with the help of a spatula or tongs. Then brush over more olive oil (or butter).
• If you want to cook potatoes together with the chicken, add the sliced potatoes in the gap between the air fryer wall and the chicken. Do not over crowd. Brush with a little olive oil.
• Continue to air fry for 20 minutes.
• Once the 20 minute air frying cycle is complete, turn up the air fryer to 400 F and air fry for an extra 5 minutes. This extra step will make the chicken skin turn golden brown.
• Air fryer whole chicken is ready to be served with roasted potatoes
