Ingredient 1. Spring chicken - 1 bird (900g) 2. Garden greens (prepack) - 1 box 3. Baguette - 4 slices 4. Roasted sesame dressing - personal preference 5. Egg - 1 pcs (french toast) 6. Garlic salt - a dash (french toast) 7. Sugar - 1 tsp (french toast)
Preparation (chicken) 1. Take a handful of Sea salt and rub all over the 2 halved chicken and marinate it overnight in the fridge.
2. 4 hours before cooking, take the marinated chicken from the fridge and lightly rinsed it. Pour 1 tsp of dark soya sauce each on every half chicken. Add some mixed spice onto the chicken and give it a good rub and leave it uncover so that the chicken skin will dry up for a crispier skin finish.
Preparation(french toast) 1. Crack an egg into a bowl and add some garlic salt, sugar (1tsp) and mixed it well.
2. Dip the slice baguette into the mixture and place the prepared baguette into the airfryer. Preheat the air fryer 180℃ for 5mins. Place in the baguette, set temperature to 200℃ for 5 to 6mins and it will be done.

The Dish
1. Pre-heat the air fryer for 5min at 180 degree Celsius.
2. Place the seasoned halved chicken into the basket and Air Fried for 35mins at 180 degree Celsius. I turned my chicken every 10min so that the colour will be even and that the chicken will be cooked evenly as well. I start off with the skin facing upwards.
3. Half way through the air frying, i intentional lift the chicken drumstick to cause a tear and poke the inner part of the chicken with a fork to allow a more even cooking.
4. After 20 minutes of air frying, i place 2 slices of back bacon onto the chicken and continue another 15mins of air frying till lightly crispy.
5. Served the cooked chicken onto the serving plate with the garden greens. Place 2 piece of AF french toast by the side and you may serve your dish.
Happy cooking and Bon Appetit.
