- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 360°F.

Notes
Not all whole chickens will fit in all air fryers. If you have a 5-quart air fryer, you can fit a 4 pound chicken. If you have a 4-quart, you can fit a 3 pound chicken. If your air fryer is smaller than that, a whole chicken won’t fit.
