Modo de preparo
- 1
Prepare: Start by preparing your 1.2 kg Whole Chicken. Pat it dry with kitchen paper towel and ensure the cavity is empty.
- 2
Oil: Next, coat the chicken skin with 1 tbsp Olive Oil. Either by spraying with oil or rubbing oil into the chicken with your hands.

Season: Once your chicken is coated in oil, season it generously on both sides with 2 large pinches of Salt and Pepper. Be sure to cover all areas for a uniform flavour. *See notes for more seasoning ideas

Line: Spray or rub the bottom of your air fryer basket with a little bit of olive oil or line it with an air fryer liner.

Basket: Place your seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket, positioning it breast side down.

Air Fry: Set your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Cook the chicken for 25 minutes on that side . *Cooking times given are for a 1.2kg whole chicken. See notes for other size cooking time.

Flip: After the initial 25 minutes of cooking, carefully use two forks to flip the chicken over so that it's now breast-side up. Flipping halfway ensures the chicken skin crisps evenly on both sides.

Cook: Continue to cook the chicken at the same temperature (200°C / 400°F) for another additional 25 minutes.
- 9
Temperature: Once your chicken is done cooking, open the drawer and check the temperature. It should read at least 75℃/ 167℉ at the thickest part (check the thigh and breast). Make sure the thermometer is in the meat and not touching the bone.

Rest: Now let the cooked chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving. This step allows the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and juicy bird. Add some fresh herbs to serve.
