🍗 Air-Fried Spicy Gochujang Honey Chicken Bites 🇰🇷

Pat the chicken cubes completely dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with the salt, black pepper, and cornstarch until every single piece is uniformly coated in a dry white film. Drizzle the neutral oil over the top and give it a final mix. The starch-and-oil combo mimics a deep-fry batter perfectly under intense convection air.

While the air fryer preheats, whisk together the Gochujang, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Set it aside—this will be the sticky landing pad for your hot chicken.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Spread the chicken cubes across the basket in a single, spacious layer. Air fry for 9–10 minutes, giving the basket a vigorous shake at the 5-minute mark. The chicken is ready when the edges look rigid, blistered, and golden-brown.

Immediately dump the piping-hot, crispy chicken directly into the bowl with the Gochujang honey glaze. Toss forcefully until the lacquer creates a thick, shiny coating over the crunch matrix. Pile onto a plate, shower with sesame seeds and green scallions, and serve hot over rice!
