Start by seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Rub with coconut oil to add moisture and flavor.
Finely chop fresh lemongrass and mix it with grated ginger and lime zest. This creates a fragrant marinade for the chicken.
Coat the chicken with the lemongrass mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour for maximum flavor.
Place the seasoned chicken in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 50-60 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. Flip halfway for even cooking.
Roast the marinated chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 50-60 minutes, basting occasionally with coconut milk for added richness.
Serve with jasmine rice, steamed vegetables, or a fresh tropical salad for a complete meal.
Serve your perfectly cooked air fryer whole chicken with your favorite sides. Enjoy the crispy skin and juicy meat!
