Air Fryer

Ingredients

1 Chicken whole (3-4 pounds)
3 tbsp BBQ Rub your choice
Olive Oil Spray

Instructions

Heat the Air Fryer to 375 degrees.
Rinse and dry the whole chicken. Remove the giblets. Spray the chicken with the olive oil spray and rub the BBQ rub on the chicken.
Place the chicken in the Air Fryer breast side down for 45-60 minutes, depending on how large your chicken is.
Turn the chicken over half way. When the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, remove and serve.

Notes

Make sure your whole chicken fits in your air fryer, with room around all the edges so the air flows properly.

Make sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of your chicken reads 165 degrees.

Depending on the size of your chicken, you will find that the cook time does vary.

Feel free to season your chicken as you would like. Reach for your favorite spices and herbs to create a rotisserie-style chicken to fit your flavor preference.

Internal Temperature Check: Chicken is done at 165 degrees. Do not touch the bone when doing internal temperature check or it gives a false reading.
