Crispy Korean Fried Chicken in the Air Fryer: A Flavorful Twist

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of tapioca starch
• 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 3/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch chunks
• cooking spray
• For the Flavorful Sauce:
• 4 ounces of tomato sauce
• 2 tablespoons of gochujang, the spicy Korean pepper paste
• 2 tablespoons of sweet honey
• 1 tablespoon of soy sauce

Step 1

Start by warming up your air fryer to a toasty 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix together tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a flat dish. Roll your chicken pieces in this flavorful mix.

Step 3

Get a baking sheet ready, top it with a cooling rack, and gently lay your chicken on it to let any extra coating fall off. Give the chicken a light mist of cooking spray before transferring it to the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Let your chicken cook in the air fryer for about 10 minutes, remembering to give the basket a good shake midway through.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together tomato sauce, gochujang sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Drizzle this delicious concoction over your cooked chicken pieces. Enjoy your tasty creation!
