Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 tablespoons gochujang
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 4 scallions thinly sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the air fryer basket by lining it with parchment paper suitable for air fryer use or cut into strips to allow airflow.
- In a bowl, mix chicken pieces with rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, salt, and pepper, then let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes for marination.
- Whisk eggs in one shallow dish and place cornstarch in another; coat each chicken piece first in egg, then in cornstarch.
- Place coated chicken on the parchment in the air fryer basket, working in batches if needed, and lightly oil the chicken.
- Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes, flip chicken, add more oil, and continue air frying for 7 additional minutes.
- While chicken cooks, blend ketchup, gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic in a small bowl to make the sauce.
- Toss the cooked chicken with the prepared sauce and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and scallions before serving.
Notes
- Use round parchment paper with holes made for air fryers or steamer baskets to help turn chicken easily and reduce cleanup
- If unavailable, cut regular parchment into strips and space them to allow airflow under the chicken pieces
