Preheat the Masterbuilt air fryer to 425°F (218°C).

Open a can of beer and take a few sips to create space.

Rub olive oil all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.

Season the chicken generously with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Insert the opened beer can into the cavity of the chicken, ensuring it stands upright.

Place the chicken in the air fryer, balancing it on the beer can.

Close the air fryer lid and cook for 50 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the air fryer using tongs.

Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Serve with roasted vegetables and enjoy.
