1. 1

   Prepare the chicken: remove the string and clean the cavity.

Transfer the chicken to a large bowl and rub it evenly on all sides with the seasoned oil.

   If needed, preheat the air fryer to 180 °C, then carefully place the chicken skin-side down. Cook for 30 minutes, then gently flip it and cook for another 10 minutes. Increase the temperature to 200 °C and roast for a further 10–15 minutes, until the skin is browned and the internal temperature in the thickest part reaches 70 °C or the juices run clear when pierced.
