- (Optional but recommended) Tie the chicken's legs together.
- Place the prepared chicken in the air fryer basket breast side down.
- Set the air fryer temperature to 350°F and cook for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken with the breast side up and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. When it reads 160°F-165°F, the chicken is perfectly cooked.
- Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Notes
- Pat the chicken completely dry before seasoning. Dry skin is the key to getting that golden, crispy rotisserie-style finish in the air fryer.
- Cook until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F. Air fryer models vary, so a meat thermometer is the best way to ensure juicy, fully cooked chicken every time.
- Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Leftover chicken is excellent for salads, sandwiches, casseroles, or soups.
