Spatchcock Air Fryer Whole Chicken
An easy air fryer recipe for a whole chicken
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Kitchen Shears
Ingredients
- 1 Whole Chicken
- 1 cup Custom Rub sprinkle liberally
- 2 tbsp olive oil Can use oil spray
Instructions
Prep Work
- First clean thoroughly the whole chicken. I like to use gloves.
- Place the whole chicken on a cutting board breast side down
- Using the kitchen shears cut out the back bone of the chicken. You can know exactly where to cut because this is guided exactly by the back bones of the chick from the neck to the tail. If you want- keep the baone and place in the freezer to use later for broth.
- Spray the chicken heavily with olive oil spray on both sides.
- Using the custom rub recipe (please see the link) or your desired seasoning, liberally season the whole chicken.
- Place the chicken in a large ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least 30 min (or overnight).
Air Fryer Recipe
- Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
- Take the whole chicken out of the ziplock bag. Place in the air fryer basket breast side down.
- Place the air fryer on 375 and place the timer on 45 min.
- At 20 min mark, flip the chicken breast side up. Air fry for additional 25-30 min. You are going for an internal temperature of 175-180 degrees farenheight.
- Allow the chicken to rest for at least 10-15 min before cutting. Then slice/cut the pieces starting with the legs/thigh; wings and slice the breast.
