Wash the chicken and pat it dry. Remove the head, tail (parsons nose), and claws. Place the chicken in a large bowl.

Wash and slice the ginger and garlic. Add them to the bowl with the star anise, salt, peppercorns, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce.

Apply the marinade evenly inside and outside the chicken. Use a bamboo skewer to poke small holes in the skin to help flavors penetrate. Massage the chicken for 5 minutes, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Remove the marinated chicken from the bowl. Pick off the star anise, garlic, and peppercorns (to prevent them from burning). Place the chicken breast-side up on the air fryer rack.
