Start by rinsing and patting the whole chicken dry. Remove excess fat and season generously with your favorite herbs and spices for added flavor.
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C). This ensures even cooking and a crispy outer layer.
Rub the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and your choice of seasoning. This will create a golden, flavorful skin as it cooks.
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.
Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) in the thickest part of the breast to ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
Let the cooked chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows juices to redistribute, making it more tender and flavorful.
Serve your perfectly cooked air fryer whole chicken with your favorite sides. Enjoy the crispy skin and juicy meat!
