Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken (3-4 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 lemon, halved
• Fresh herbs (optional, for stuffing)

Directions

1. Prep the Chicken: Rinse and pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil all over the chicken.
2. Season: In a small bowl, mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
3. Stuff: Place the lemon halves and fresh herbs inside the cavity of the chicken.
4. Secure the Chicken: Insert the rotisserie spit through the center of the chicken. Secure the chicken with the rotisserie forks, ensuring it is balanced.
5. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 5 minutes.
6. Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken on the rotisserie spit into the air fryer. Cook for 60-70 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden and crispy.
7. Rest and Serve: Carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
