Pat the whole chicken dry with paper towels. This helps achieve crispy skin.
In a small bowl, melt the butter. Mince the garlic and add it to the melted butter along with the rosemary and thyme leaves. Stir to combine.
Rub the garlic herb butter all over the chicken, including under the skin of the breast. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Cut the lemon in half. Place one half inside the cavity of the chicken. Squeeze the juice of the other half over the chicken.
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with olive oil.
Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, breast side up.
Air fry for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F (74°C). Check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
If the skin starts to brown too quickly, tent the chicken with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving.
