Ingredients

3 pounds whole chicken, frozen
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic powder, adjust to taste
2 tablespoons onion powder, adjust to taste
2 teaspoons paprika, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, adjust to taste
2 teaspoons Fresh herbs, optional, rosemary, thyme

Directions

Place the frozen whole chicken breast side down in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 360°F for 40 minutes to start thawing and cooking.

Carefully take the chicken out and check the cavity for thawed giblets. Remove and discard if present.

Brush the chicken with olive oil, then evenly coat it with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning over the entire surface for full coverage.

Return the chicken to the air fryer, breast side up. Air fry at 360°F for an additional 30–40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the breast and thigh.
