Critical Success Points

  • Mixing the marinade thoroughly to dissolve sugar and stock powder.
  • Marinating the chicken breast side down and flipping halfway.
  • Covering the chicken during the first air fry to keep it moist.
  • Uncovering for the final 10 minutes to develop color.
  • Resting the chicken for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Safety Warnings

  • Wash hands and all surfaces after handling raw chicken.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 74°C (165°F).
  • Be careful when removing foil after air frying—hot steam will escape.
  • Allow air fryer and dish to cool before washing to avoid burns.
