Best Air Fryer Whole Chicken Spatchcock Style

I have yet another confession. I seem to have developed an addiction to air frying foods. It all started a couple of months ago when we received our 8 qt air fryer ^[3]. Now I had tried air frying before, but not with a machine that could actually fit enough food for a family of 5. That was a game changer in our kitchen, and one of the first things I wanted to nail down was an air fryer ^[4] whole chicken ^[5]chicken ^[5] recipe. We hope that you love this Best Air Fryer Whole Chicken Spatchcock Style recipe.

When Perdue Farms approached me and asked if I would like to try some of their new offerings, this was the first recipe that came to mind. The chicken ^[5] used here is a Sonoma Red Organic Pasture Raised Whole Chicken ^[6]. So what is a Sonoma Red chicken? Well, for one, it is a chicken that is slower growing that your average supermarket bird. The distribution of meat is a bit different as well; the thighs tend to be a bit bigger, while the breast and wings a bit smaller. The meat also has more flavor and better texture, at least in my opinion. This is a bird that doesn't need a marinade to taste great. It's a bit more expensive, but that's ok by me; I'll pay a bit more for a higher quality product that I know was humanely raised.
