Equipment

• Air Fryer (Here's the air fryer I like best on Amazon)
• Meat Thermometer (Click here for the one I like best on Amazon

Ingredients

• 5-6 lb Whole chicken, giblets removed
• 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or your favorite cooking oil
• 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (I prefer smoked paprika)
• ½ teaspoon Dried basil
• ½ teaspoon Dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon Dried thyme

Instructions

• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine all of the seasonings with the oil to make a paste. Use a basting brush to spread half of the seasoning all over the breast side of the chicken. Pick the chicken up with the legs, and place it breast side down in the air fryer basket. (note: I removed my grate from my air fryer for this recipe. If yours allows, I would do the same. It will allow for a bigger chicken, and the breast meat will marinate in the released juices as it cooks.). Use the basting brush to coat the rest of the chicken with the rub.
• Air fry at 360 degrees F (182C) for 50 minutes.  Flip the chicken to breast side up and cook for an additional 10 minutes. (Cook time will vary depending on your air fryer wattage, size, and the size of your chicken)  - I did 60 mins (flip halfway, do wings up first and then wings down for next half) 
• Check to make sure the internal temperature of your chicken breast meat has a temperature of 165F (74C) using an instant read thermometer.  Continue to cook until the temperature is reached. Remove from the air fryer basket to a cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

  When the milk turns hot (not boiling), pour 2 tbsp of the custard mix to the hot milk. Whisk well to incorporate it with the milk.
• ▢ 
  Repeat adding another 2 tablespoons custard mixture to the milk and whisk well. This way incorporate all of the custard mixture to the milk in 3 batches, whisking after each addition.
• ▢ 
  You may taste test it at this stage and add more sugar if needed.
• ▢ 
  Keep stirring and cook on a low to medium heat until the custard turns thick. The custard must coat the back of the spoon well but must be yet of runny consistency. (check video)
• ▢ 
  Take it off the heat and whisk it well to make it super smooth. Cover immediately. Cool this completely and chill it in the fridge.
