Ingredients

  • 1 5lb Whole Chicken, cleaned & trimmed
  • 1 tbs Olive Oil or Avocado Oil
  • Cooking Twine for tying

Asian Chicken Rub

  • 1 tbs Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Smoked Salt or Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Dried Minced Onion
  • ½ tsp Ground Ginger
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Ground Clove

Instructions

  • Mix the Asian chicken rub spices together with 1 tbs of olive oil to make a paste.
  • Give the chicken an even coating of the seasoning paste.
  • With cooking twine, gently tie the chicken legs together, then tie the wings down around the chicken. This will prevent any thinner parts from over cooking and create an even, crispy, juice chicken.
  • Air fry at 365F for 25 minutes breast side down, turn chicken breast side up, then continue to cook for another 25 minutes. Let chicken rest for 5-7 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Store in air tight container up to 4 days in fridge.
