Air Fryer Korean Style Chicken Breast

Chicken recipes have been our thing lately. And as mentioned before, I am super picky when it comes to chicken. This Air Fryer Korean Style Chicken Breast recipe was amazing. The original recipe from Serious Eats is not an Air Fryer recipe - it's a grill or boiling recipe. We decided to air fry ours and what a huge difference it made. So good! 

The changes we made - In place of Korean Rice Syrup, we used Sweet Cooking Rice Seasoning. We also used garlic powder instead of garlic, and removed chili peppers. 

Ingredients for the sauce:
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup Sweet Cooking Rice Seasoning
1/4 cup gochujang
2 tbsp chili powder
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp pepper
1 cup Sprite

Ingredients for the chicken:
3-4 large chicken breasts, cut into chunks

Directions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce - chicken broth, soy sauce, rice seasoning, gochujang, chili powder, and sesame oil. Set aside. 

In a medium saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic powder, ground ginger and salt and stir for 30-60 seconds. 

Stir in the sauce and Sprite and bring to a rapid simmer. Simmer sauce for about 6-8 minute and set aside to cool. 

For the chicken, cut chicken breasts into chunks, dry, and then add to a bag with the marinade. Marinade at least 45 minutes. 

Place in the air fryer, 380 degrees for 10 minutes. 

Top with cheese, scallions, and sesame seeds. Serve with vegetables and rice.
