Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg Whole chicken with skin on
  • 30 grams butter softened
  • 2 sprigs rosemary
  • 2 sprigs sage
  • 1 teaspoon chopped parsley
  • 1 Lemon organic
  • 1 head of garlic
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 300 grams Potatoes sliced

Pottaoes (Optional Side)

    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.
