Air Fryer Whole Chicken Ingredients:
- medium whole chicken
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper
- Air Fryer Stuffing Balls optional
Instructions
- Remove your whole chicken from its packaging and tie up the chicken legs.
- Place the chicken breast side down and add half the oil and using your hands smoother it over the visible skin. Season it with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Place in the air fryer basket, with the breast side down and air fry for 25 minutes at 180c/360f. Do not preheat the air fryer as it will cook the outside of the chicken too quick.
- If making stuffing balls make them whilst the chicken is cooking.
- When the air fryer beeps, use a fork, and place the fork into the cavity of the chicken and use this to turn the chicken over to breast side up.
- Now add the remaining oil onto any visible skin and season again.
- Air fry for a further 20 minutes. If adding stuffing balls air fry them, with the whole chicken in the gaps for the last 10 minutes.
- Allow to rest before serving your chicken.

Notes
- Variation. You can mix and match your seasonings. I love Italian seasoning or mixed herbs, but any dried herb will work well.
- Quantity. Stick to a small or medium whole chicken if you can. As a large chicken will not fit in the air fryer basket.
