Air Fryer Whole Chicken

Published on 12 February 2024
Tender, juicy chicken, golden crispy skin and cooked in 1 hour – we love this Air Fryer Whole Chicken recipe. We’ve used fresh rosemary and thyme for a classic Sunday lunch but try this with fresh oregano, a pinch of ground fennel and serve with sliced crispy potatoes for an Italian-inspired dinner next time.
