60-Minute Juicy Air Fryer Whole Chicken

Cooking a juicy and crispy whole chicken has never been easier! This air fryer whole chicken recipe uses a simple marinade to make an effortlessly easy whole chicken, all in just one hour.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 1/2 to 4 lb whole chicken (giblets removed and patted dry)
• 2 teaspoons salt ((1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon per lb of chicken))
• 3 1/2 teaspoons mediterranean chicken seasoning
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place the whole chicken on a large tray and make sure it is patted dry really well, from the inside as well as the outside and that the giblets have been removed.
2. 2In a small bowl, mix together the salt, chicken seasoning and the olive oil to create a paste. Coat the entire chicken with the seasoning paste, ensuring to also marinate the inside of the chicken.
3. 3Place the chicken breast side down in the air fryer basket and air fry at 350F for 30 minutes.
4. 4Flip the chicken breast side up and continue to air fry at 350F for 20 more minutes.
5. 5Use a meat thermometer to check that the thickest part of the breast is at least 165F. If you have a larger chicken, you may need to air fry for an additional 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes, inside the air fryer so it stays hot.
6. 6Serve along with a side salad, potatoes or rice.
