Rinse the chicken under running water multiple times to remove bone fragments and blood.

Make deep cuts on the chicken to ensure even cooking.

Season the chicken with 1 tsp salt and parsley powder. No need to over-season as garlic sauce will be applied later.

Prepare the garlic sauce by boiling 4 tbsp soy sauce, 6 tbsp syrup, 2 tbsp minced garlic, and 5 tbsp water.

Preheat the air fryer at 180°C for 5–10 minutes.

Cook the chicken in the air fryer at 180°C for 10 minutes without applying the sauce yet.

Flip the chicken and cook at 200°C for 10 minutes. Apply the prepared garlic sauce using a silicone brush. Repeat this process 2–3 times as needed.
