This cooking method produces delicious, crispy chicken skin without all the extra fat and calories. Plus, it's super simple to do - just season your chicken and pop it in the air fryer. In no time at all, you'll have a perfectly cooked bird that is sure to please everyone at the table.
Rub the chicken with avocado oil, then season with salt, pepper, dried thyme, dried sage, smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion powder.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket (breast side down) and cook for 1 hour, turning at 45 minutes. At 45 minutes, turn the whole chicken over and coat with some of the oils that have dropped down to the bottom of the air fryer tray. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
