5. 5Brush or smear spice mixture over the surface of the whole chicken.
6. 6Place the bird breast side down in the air fry basket (press the back side as flat as possible to prevent it being too close to the burner inside the cooker.)
7. 7Air fry the chicken for 30 minutes.
8. 8Carefully open the unit, remove the basket (or tray) and use tongs to flip the chicken over so it's facing breast side up.
9. 9Air fry another 10-20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The chicken size will determine the final cook time.
