Instructions
-
Start by mixing together softened butter with chopped herbs and kosher salt.
-
Take the chicken, and using a tablespoon, push the skin gently. Using your fingers, gently rub the butter below the chicken skin, and smear it both over and under.
-
Slice off the top of the head of garlic. Put half a lemon and the whole head of garlic into the chicken cavity.
-
Truss the chicken, place it breast downward on the Air Fryer basket. Using a brush, brush olive oil all over.
-
Air fry at 370F for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, take out the basket.
-
Flip the chicken over gently, with the help of a spatula or tongs. Then brush over more olive oil (or butter).
-
If you want to cook potatoes together with the chicken, add the sliced potatoes in the gap between the air fryer wall and the chicken. Do not over crowd. Brush with a little olive oil.
-
Continue to air fry for 20 minutes.
-
Once the 20 minute air frying cycle is complete, turn up the air fryer to 400 F and air fry for an extra 5 minutes. This extra step will make the chicken skin turn golden brown.
-
Air fryer whole chicken is ready to be served with roasted potatoes.
