Ingredients

  • 4 pound whole chicken giblets and neck removed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Prepare your chicken, make sure that all giblets are removed, and pat the chicken dry with a paper towel.  
  • In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika until it forms a paste. 
  • With a brush (or your hands), massage the mixture all over the outside of the chicken, and under the skin.  
  • Place the chicken into the air fryer basket (breast side down to start is best), and turn the air fryer to 370 degrees F for 25 minutes. 
  • Turn the chicken to the other side, and set the air fryer to 370 degrees F for another 25 minutes.  
  • Check the internal temperature of the chicken, and make sure that it has reached at least 165 degrees.
  • Remove the chicken from the air fryer and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.  Carve, and serve!
