Steps (4)

THIS RECIPE IS AIR FRYER-FRIENDLY
Simply reduce the cooking time and temperature on your air fryer as shown here.*

Timing
Set air fryer timer for half the cooking time of a conventional oven. Add extra time for doneness if needed.

Temperature
Reduce regular oven temperature by 25° to 50° (not going below 350°) on your air fryer. If food is getting too dark, reduce by another 25°.

* Always follow manufacturer’s instructions.

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a cooking rack into a roasting pan.

  2. 2

    Season the cavity of the chicken well with salt and pepper, and stuff with the garlic, apple and lemon halves. Brush the outside of the chicken with the butter and sprinkle with the seasoning mix.

  3. 3

    Tie the legs together with kitchen string and tuck the wing tips under the body of the chicken. Place on the rack.

  4. 4

    Roast the chicken for 1½ hours, or until the juices run clear when you cut between a leg and thigh. Remove the chicken and let rest for about 10–15 minutes before carving.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great taste inside and out I fixed this chicken dinner a couple weeks ago for some friends, who could not stop expressing how much they enjoyed the meal. They told me how soft and full of flavor the meat was and even one of them let me know the skin was the best he had ever tasted. So A plus all around.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great roast chicken I had a coupon for the seasoning and am challenged for ways to use it. This was good, especially the skin.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy chicken Very tasty, but I had to only use 1/2 an apple and half an onion, chicken cavity to small. I may have read recipe wrong. But it tastes good and is very easy to make.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My husband loved it It was very easy, however the chicken I purchased was a little under 6 pounds, & was not done after 1 1/2 hrs. I had to bake it for 2 hrs before it was done. Maybe because I'm at a high altitude....next time I will plan for 2 hours.
