Ingredients for air fryer whole chicken
- 4-lb Whole chicken – This is the perfect size bird for a family meal.
- Butter – The fat of choice here, that will keep the chicken moist and add great flavor.
- Seasonings – Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parsley are a perfect combination of flavors to add to the chicken.
- Lemon – A burst of citrus freshness.
- Salt and pepper – Two necessary ingredients to make sure the chicken is well seasoned!
Mix it up!
Italian seasoning and garlic powder are just some of my favorite flavors, but feel free to use your own!
Try using Cajun seasoning instead of Italian, smoked paprika and lime juice, or maybe some cilantro and chipotle seasoning.
You’re only limited by your imagination!
