Instructions
- Spatchcock the chicken by removing the backbone and any excess fat, cracking the breast bone, and flipping the chicken so it lays flat.
- Dry the chicken with paper towels. Season the chicken with oil and seasoning, making sure to cover the entire chicken and to season under the skin.
- Place in air fryer basket, breast side up, making sure the chicken lays flat in your basket.
- Ait fry on 360 degrees Fahrenheit for 35-40 minutes, until a quick read thermometer inserted on the thickest part of the thigh registers at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes
- The size of your chicken and air fryer brand will determine the cook time. For smaller chickens, start checking around 30 minutes. Larger chickens may need a longer cook time.
- I used a 5.8qt air fryer for this chicken recipe.
- Season all over the chicken including under the skin.
- Let the chicken rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute.
