Tips
Cut off the butt and excess skin of the chicken.
Pour boiling water over the chicken to tighten the skin for better texture and seasoning adherence.
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.
Consider cooking for 50 minutes instead of 60 for a juicier result, as individual air fryers may vary.
