Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Korean Fried Chicken.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for some delicious chicken.
Step 2
While that heats up, grab a shallow dish and mix together the tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
This flavorful blend will give your chicken a delightful crunch.
Step 4
Next, take your chicken pieces and dredge them in the tapioca mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor and texture.
Step 5
To catch any excess coating, place a cooling rack on a baking sheet and arrange the coated chicken on top.
Step 6
This little trick helps keep your chicken crispy! Give the chicken a light spray with cooking spray; this will help it achieve that golden, crispy finish in the air fryer.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to transfer the chicken to the air fryer basket.
Step 8
Cook it for about 10 minutes, and don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through to ensure every piece cooks evenly and gets that perfect crunch.
Step 9
While the chicken is cooking, let’s whip up a quick sauce.
Step 10
In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, gochujang sauce, honey, and soy sauce.
Step 11
This sweet and spicy drizzle will elevate your chicken to the next level! Once the chicken is done, drizzle this delicious sauce over the crispy pieces before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy your flavorful air-fried chicken, and get ready for compliments from everyone at the table!.
