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!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your chicken pieces in the fridge for at least an hour before air frying to ensure maximum crispiness.
  2. 2. Once cooked, store any leftover chicken in an airtight container to maintain its crunchy texture.
