Rotisserie Chicken


Ingredients

4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 lemon, halved
1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) whole chicken, giblets removed
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided


Directions
Step 1
Place thyme sprigs and lemon halves in chicken cavity. Truss the chicken 
	legs closed with kitchen twine. Sprinkle the breasts and legs evenly 
	with 3/8 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken, 
	breast-side up, in the air-fryer basket.

Step 2
Set the air fryer to 350°F (no need to preheat); cook for 30 minutes. 
	Carefully turn the chicken over; cook for 15 minutes. Carefully turn 
	the chicken over again; cook until a thermometer inserted in the 
	thickest portion of a thigh registers 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes. 
	Transfer the chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3
Carve the chicken; discard the thyme and reserve the lemon halves. Sprinkle 
	the chicken evenly with the remaining 3/8 teaspoon salt and 1/4 
	teaspoon pepper; squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon halves over the chicken.
