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.
