Bereiding

  1. Marinate the chicken

    • Add the chicken thigh pieces to a bowl.
    • Add soy sauce, the egg, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
    • Mix everything together until the chicken is well coated.
    Stap 1
  2. Coat with potato starch

    • Pour in the potato starch and mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
    • Cornstarch works too, but potato starch gets way crispier.
    Stap 2
  3. Air fry the chicken

    • Add the coated chicken to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
    • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
    • Shake the basket halfway through.
    Stap 3
  4. Make the sauce

    • In a pan, combine gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ketchup, honey, brown sugar, sesame oil and grated garlic.
    • Mix and let it simmer for a few minutes.
    • Finish with the butter and stir until glossy.
    Stap 4
  5. Combine and serve

    • Once the sauce is glossy, pour in the crispy chicken.
    • Give it one last good mix so every piece is coated.
    • Serve right away.
