Clean the whole chicken with lemon juice or vinegar and score it to allow seasoning to penetrate.

Add 1 teaspoon each of nutmeg, garlic powder, ginger powder, and paprika powder to the chicken.

Squeeze in maggi cubes and add all-purpose seasoning and salt to the chicken.

Chop half of a medium onion and a few spring onions, adding them to the chicken.

Add water just above the chicken and include bay leaves.

Boil the chicken on high heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, checking and rotating it occasionally for even cooking.

Preheat the air fryer to 190 degrees Celsius for about 5 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to the air fryer, pouring in the cooking liquid from the pot.

Grill the chicken in the air fryer at 200 degrees Celsius until it changes color to golden brown.

After 5 minutes, turn the chicken over and add a little oil to prevent drying.

Cook for another 5 minutes until done and crispy.

Prepare a sauce by frying the remaining onions and spring onions in the oil rendered from the chicken.

Add a little water to the pan to create a broth, mixing until thickened.

Pour the sauce over the grilled chicken and squeeze some lemon juice on top before serving.
