Frigidaire Air Fry Range

This recipe is specifically intended for full-size ovens with the air fry feature like the Frigidaire Air Fry Range I own.

For small air fryers cooking time and temperatures may need to be adjusted. For the full review of the Frigidaire Air Fry Range go here.

How Do You Cook An Entire Chicken In An Air Fryer?

Select the Air Fry function on the oven and set the temperature to 350° and allow to pre-heat.

To start, cover a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and place the wire rack on top. Mix the spices in a small bowl and set it aside. Next, place the chicken on a cutting board and pat chicken dry with paper towels.

Using your hands or a silicone basting brush cover the skin in extra virgin olive oil. Cover the whole chicken with the seasoning rub and gently rub the spices into the skin. When the chicken is seasoned place it on top of the wire rack on the prepared baking sheet chicken breast side up.

Place the chicken in the oven in the third rack position. You may need to remove an oven rack to allow for the chicken to rest and cool. Set a timer for 60 minutes.

How Long To Air Fry A Whole Chicken?

After 60 minutes check the internal temperature of the chicken with a digital meat thermometer. Insert the temperature probe into the thickest part of the breast but don’t touch any bones. Move the probe around and check multiple places around the chicken breast. Continue to air fry until the internal temperature reaches 165° for a 5-pound chicken this may take up to 120 minutes of cook time depending on the size of the chicken.

If you are unsure about how long to cook chicken for please refer to this chart for safe minimum cooking temperatures.

At the end of the cooking time or the internal temperature reaches 165° carefully remove the baking sheet and allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes before cutting it up.

Air Fried Vegetable Side Dishes

While you let the chicken rest make an easy vegetable side dish like Air Fried Broccoli, Air Fried Cauliflower, or Air Fried Red Potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, to go with the chicken.
