Wash the outside and inside of the whole chicken with sake to remove any slime.

Mix together sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, oregano, paprika, and ichimi pepper in a bowl.

Rub the mixed seasoning all over the outside of the chicken and inside the cavity.

Stuff the chicken with chopped onion, scallion, garlic, ginger, and dashi kombu.

Drizzle olive oil over the outside of the chicken to help the seasoning stick and to make it crispy.

Place the chicken in the air fryer and set it to 375°F for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check the chicken and turn it over, then cook for another 15 to 30 minutes until fully cooked.
