- 1 4 lb whole chicken
- 1 T ghee (clarified butter) or other high smoke point option (coconut oil)
Seasoning Ingredients
- ½ T coarse kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
If using my seasoning blend, combine all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Remove gizzards, neck etc from inside the chicken. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels - Inside and out.
Rub ghee all over chicken.
Sprinkle half the seasoning all over and inside chicken. Reserve the other half for later use.
Place chicken in air fryer basket and set to 350 F for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, use a quick-read thermometer to check temp of chicken. If not reading 165 F, place back in at 350 F in 5 minute increments until 165 F temperature is achieved.
Enjoy!
