Ingredients
Main ingredients
- Chicken 500 g
Sauces
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) 2 Tbsp
Steps
- 1.Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
- 2.In a shallow bowl, mix flour and potato/corn starch to create a dry coating.
- 3.Dredge each chicken piece in the flour-starch mixture, shaking off excess so only a thin layer remains.
- 4.Lightly mist or brush the coated chicken with cooking oil to promote crisping in the air fryer.
- 5.Preheat the air fryer to 190 °C (375 °F). Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the air-fryer basket, leaving space between pieces for air circulation.
- 6.Air-fry for about 15 minutes, then flip the pieces and mist with a little more oil.
- 7.Continue air-frying for another 10–12 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.
- 8.While the chicken finishes, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey (or sugar), minced garlic, and a splash of rice vinegar in a small saucepan and simmer until glossy.
- 9.Transfer the hot, crispy chicken to a mixing bowl and pour the warm sauce over it, tossing to coat every piece.
- 10.Return the sauced chicken to the air fryer for 2–3 minutes to set the glaze.
- 11.Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, then serve immediately.
