Pollo asado simple en freidora de aire

Ingredientes

• 1 whole chicken (3.5 pounds, giblets removed)
• 1/2 lemon
• 1.5 tablespoons butter (softened)
• Salt & pepper (to taste)

Preparación

1. 1

   Dry your chicken with paper towels. Pierce the lemon half with a knife a few times, and place it in the chicken's cavity.

2. 2

   Starting breast side up, using your fingers, rub the chicken with half of the butter, and then generously season with salt & pepper. Turn the chicken over and butter the underside, and then season it with salt & pepper.

3. 3

   Preheat your air fryer to 350F.

4. 4

   Place the chicken in the basket of your air fryer breast-side down. Cook for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Turn the chicken over so it's breast-side up, and cook for another 25 minutes or until it's golden and an instant read thermometer indicates it's at least 160F.

6. 6

   Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving so it can come up to a safe temperature of 165F, and the juices will redistribute so it's more tender and juicy.
