03 Method

Step 1

Place thyme sprigs and lemon halves in the chicken cavity. Truss the chicken legs closed with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the breasts and legs evenly with ⅜ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in the air-fryer basket.
Step 2

Set the air fryer to 350°F (no need to preheat); cook for 30 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken over; cook for 15 minutes. Carefully turn the chicken over again; cook until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of a thigh registers 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 3

Carve the chicken; discard the thyme and reserve the lemon halves. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with the remaining ⅜ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon halves over the chicken.
