Pat the whole chicken dry, both inside and out, using paper towels. Remove the giblets, trim any excess fat, and discard.
Tie together 4 sprigs each of rosemary, sage, and oregano into a neat herb bundle using kitchen string. Set it aside for later use.
In a small bowl, combine the salt and pepper. Sprinkle about 1-2 teaspoons of the seasoning mixture inside the chicken cavity. Place the herb bundle inside the cavity.
Gently loosen the skin over the breasts and thighs. Insert 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 sprig of rosemary beneath the skin of each breast and thigh. Rub the remaining butter all over the skin, and any excess butter can be placed inside the cavity.
Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture evenly over the entire chicken. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, breast-side down.
Set the air fryer to 180℃ and cook for 45 minutes. Carefully flip the chicken using tongs, making sure it's breast-side up. Continue air-frying for an additional 15 minutes or until the skin is beautifully crisp and golden. |
