After hours of cooking process, I am finally done with cooking the chicken. For today, that is. First is to boil the chicken to soften it (as it's very chewy if I don't do that) with spices and sauce to ensure the chicken won't be tasteless. Then, I glazed the chicken with melted margarine. No butter, I forgot to buy it yesterday. I think butter would be better. I roasted the chicken for 10 minutes on one side and 5 on the next. Taste-wise, not bad at all. Would be better if I can adjust the temperature but this air fryer is pretty basic. But this will do for now. Image is mine.
I'm boiling chicken right now. It's chewy so you can't just cook it like regular chicken meat that you buy from the market. Since Mom slaughtered 3 chickens, it...

My mother in law used to always boil chickens before cooking them in the oven.

I would do that for farm chicken only. The ones from the market won't be as juicy anymore if I boiled them first.

I usually won't boil it first if it's the meat from the market. This one is too tough just to cook just like that.

Did you stuff the chicken before roasting?

No stuffing as the chicken was already cut to portion. Plus I already boiled them with the ingredients.

@prinzcy I hope someone does, you deserve this for your birthday..the 3 quart ones here are very reasonable and it would make so much quicker work for you. Maybe there is a cheaper one maybe someone has a used one..that is what I got and it works fine..I have the very small one the 3qt size. It was $40 USA.

Glad that you got the chicken done the way you like. I would like butter better than margarine.
