This air fryer roasted whole chicken recipe uses only 4 ingredients, and only takes an hour to make. It's juicy and tender with a crispy skin, and packed full of flavor.
Add the sea salt, herb seasoning, and oil to a large bowl with the chicken. Then evenly coat the chicken with the seasoning and oil. I spread the rub on the inside cavity and underneath the breast skin.
Add the chicken to the air fryer cooking basket breast side down. Air crisp on 350F for about 10 min per pound (for a 4-pound chicken that’s 40 minutes).
Use tongs to flip the bird. I clamp the tongs between the center and the back to not break the breast side skin.
Air fry at 400F for 10-15 more minutes to get the skin brown and crispy, and to cook the chicken through.
Let the chicken rest in the air fryer for another 5 minutes with the lid open.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in a 400F oven for 15 minutes.
