Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • pan that will fit in your air fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 whole butterflied chicken
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon thyme

Instructions

  • Slice 1 lemon into whole slices. Add to mixing bowl
  • Combine the rest of the ingredients, minus the chicken, to the mixing bowl. Mix.
  • Add the chicken to the mixing bowl. Flip the chicken two to three times to coat it.
  • Let rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Using a pan that fits both the chicken and air fryer basket, place the chicken in the pan. Pour marinade over the chicken but don’t overfill the pan.
  • Place lemon slices across the top of the chicken.
  • Cook at 350 for 30 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°.
  • Remove the chicken and carve.
  • Garnish with lemon and parsley.

Notes

  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for best flavor.
  • Use an internal thermometer to check that your chicken is cooked through before serving.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking, before you carve it.
  • I've found it's easier to butterfly the chicken, when I used a very sharp knife or a pair of kitchen shears.
