Notes
- Make sure your chicken is dry prior to adding the dry rub. Patting the washed chicken with paper towels will help keep the rub from slipping off.
- Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to break the backbone to fit. When shopping, make sure you buy a whole chicken that will fit inside your air fryer.
- Start with the whole chicken breast side down to make it easier to close the air fryer.
- Make sure the entire chicken is coated in the dry rub.
- For the best results, let chicken rest for 15 minutes before you start carving.
- Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model, so it is important to always check your food for doneness.
- Storage - keep cooked chicken in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
- There are 7 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
