Tips

  • Cut off the butt and excess skin of the chicken.

  • Slapping the chicken is a mandatory step.
  • Season the chicken with whatever you like, but keep the two soy sauces for color.
  • Stuff fresh herbs and spices like ginger, green onion, and garlic inside the chicken.
  • Coat the chicken with remaining sauce before wrapping it in aluminum foil.
  • Be careful when taking the chicken out of the air fryer as it can be very hot.
