Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 Pound Whole Chicken Fryer with Giblet Removed
  • Olive Oil Spary
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Pepper
  • Sliced Lemon Optional

Instructions
 

  • Prep the chicken by removing the ties around the legs and giblet if not already removed.
  • Coat the chicken with olive oil spray and evenly sprinkle the lemon pepper over the chicken.
  • Let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  • When ready to cook, spray the basket of the air fryer with olive oil spray and place the chicken in the air fryer, it is best-done breast side down first.
  • Cook at 360*F in the air fryer for 40 minutes.
  • After 40 minutes, carefully turn the chicken. We found it was easiest to carefully place the chicken on a cutting board to rotate it, but it is up to your preference at this point.
  • When flipping the chicken, you can add sliced lemon where the giblet goes if you prefer.
  • Once it's flipped, continue cooking for 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165*F.
  • Serve it breast side up or cut to your preference.

Notes

Note - it can be served to your preference either side up, to cut, serve it breast side up and begin cutting.
