Ingredients
- 1 5-pound whole chicken, giblets removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ½ teaspoons poultry seasoning
- 2 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C), following the manufacturer's guidelines.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil with poultry seasoning, Italian seasoning, paprika, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.
- Thoroughly dry the chicken with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin. Generously coat the entire chicken with the prepared spice mixture, making sure to reach every part, including beneath the wings.
- Place the chicken, breast side down, into the air fryer basket. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 45 minutes. After this time, carefully turn the chicken over using tongs. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured with an instant-read thermometer, which should take approximately 20 minutes more.
- Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
