  • Bowl

  • Knife

  • Chopping board

  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • Whole chicken weighing 3 lbs (1.5 kg), giblets removed.

  • Extra virgin olive oil

  • Fresh garlic cloves

  • Lemon juice

  • Fresh parsley, thyme, and dried oregano.

  • Salt and black pepper

Instructions

1
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
2
Prepare the seasoned oil: finely chop the garlic and herbs. Mix them in a small bowl with fresh lemon juice, olive oil, a few teaspoons of salt, and a generous pinch of pepper.
3
Rub the chicken with the mixture. For more flavour, lift the skin off the breast and legs and rub some of the oil directly onto the meat. Don't forget to season the cavity – you can also add half a lemon and a few sprigs of herbs for extra aroma.
4
Place the chicken breast-side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350Β°F (180Β°C) for 30 minutes.
5
Flip the chicken and cook for another 20-30 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden, and the meat is cooked through.
6
Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before carving and serving.
