MARINATE THE CHICKEN:

• Rinse chicken and remove any gizzards/neck inside the bird.
  1 whole chicken
• Place chicken in a large bowl and add in buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic and salt.
  2 quarts buttermilk, 2 Tbsp hot sauce, 2 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp salt
• Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours up to overnight. Flip bird half way through marinating.
• After marinating, remove chicken from buttermilk, shake off excess and set on a cutting board. 

SEASON THE CHICKEN:

• In a small bowl, mix together onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning paprika and pepper
  1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp black pepper
• Coat 1/2 seasoning mix on breast side of chicken
• Place chicken in air fryer basket - chicken breast side down - and coat other side with remaining spice mix

COOK THE CHICKEN:

• Air fry at 375 for 30 minutes
• Flip with tongs (it's not easy if it's a big bird) and check internal temperature of chicken with a meat thermometer. Poke thermometer into thick part of chicken breast. Depending on current temp will let you know how much time to add to the chicken.
• If chicken is in between 100-125 - add 30 minutes, if between 125-140 - add 20 minutes, if between 140-160 - add 10 minutes.
• When temp is approx 160º, remove chicken from air fryer and set on platter. Let rest for a few minutes while you get the rest of dinner on the table and the temp will rise to 165º
