I'm lucky to live in an area with an abundance of Korean restaurants, and this is my take on a local restaurant's Korean fried chicken. Serve chicken with cooked rice if desired.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup tapioca starch

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • cooking spray

Sauce:

  • 4 ounces tomato sauce

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Combine tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken pieces through the mixture.

  3. Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack and place chicken on rack to let excess dredge fall off. Lightly grease chicken with cooking spray and place in the air fryer basket.
