Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 lbs whole chicken (organic, humanely raised)
Dry Seasoning Blend:
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon ground sage
Cooking Preparation:
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant spice blend by whisking together aromatic herbs and seasonings in a compact mixing vessel, creating a robust flavor profile for your poultry.
- Meticulously cleanse the whole chicken, eliminating internal organs and carefully blotting the exterior with absorbent paper towels to ensure optimal seasoning adherence.
- Generously mist the entire chicken surface with olive oil, allowing the liquid to create a delectable golden-brown canvas for the spice mixture.
- Thoroughly massage the prepared spice blend into every crevice of the chicken, ensuring both interior and exterior are completely coated with the fragrant seasoning.
- Position the chicken breast-side down within the air fryer basket, maintaining a precise temperature of 360°F for the initial roasting phase.
- After 30 minutes, delicately rotate the chicken to breast-side up, continuing the cooking process until the internal temperature precisely reaches 165°F.
- Once cooking is complete, transfer the chicken to a resting board, allowing the juices to redistribute and flavors to intensify for approximately 10 minutes before carving.
- Slice the chicken with a sharp knife, revealing the succulent, herb-infused meat and presenting a restaurant-quality rotisserie-inspired dish.
Notes
- Spice Blend Intensity can be adjusted by adding more or less of each seasoning, allowing personalization to suit individual taste preferences.
- Ensure Complete Dryness when patting the chicken, as moisture prevents crispy skin and even browning during air frying.
- Truss the Chicken tightly with kitchen twine to maintain a compact shape, promoting even cooking and helping retain moisture throughout the process.
- Low-Sodium Option works perfectly by reducing salt content or substituting with herb-heavy seasoning blends, making the recipe heart-healthy without compromising flavor.
