Equipment

  • 1 air fryer
  • 1 Mixing bowl medium
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Korean Glaze

  • 2 tbsp gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage.

  • Place seasoned chicken pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

  • Serve the glazed chicken bites immediately with your choice of sides.

Storage

  • To reheat, place chicken bites back in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes at 350°F until heated through.

Notes

Pro Tips: For the crispiest results, ensure chicken pieces are evenly spaced in the air fryer. Ingredient Substitutions: Tamari can be used instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free alternative. How to Serve: Serve with steamed rice and a side of pickled vegetables. Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the glaze ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
