Ingredients
- 1.2 kg (2½lb) whole chicken
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp za'atar
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chilli flakes
- 1½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Mix the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic and spices together.
- Transfer one third of the mixture to a separate bowl for basting.
- Brush the seasoned oil over the chicken, making sure to cover the entire chicken with the mix.
- Preheat the air fryer to 160ºC/320ºF.
- Place the chicken, breast-side down, into the Air Fryer basket and cook for 20 mins.
- Flip over then brush with the reserved marinade. Cook for 10-20 minutes at 180ºC/350ºF. Turn the temperature up to 200°C/390°F and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
